Slovakia's Opposition Blames Government for Rule of Law Problems

The Christian Democratic Movement (KDH), a Slovak opposition party, has blamed Prime Minister Robert Fico's government for the country's rule of law problems, arguing that citizens should not be held responsible for these issues. KDH politician Miriam Lexmann accused the government of weakening the fight against corruption and dismantling oversight mechanisms. The criticism comes as Slovakia faces ongoing concerns about democratic institutions under Fico's administration, which returned to power in 2023. KDH, a center-right Christian democratic party that sits in opposition to Fico's ruling coalition, has been vocal in its criticism of what it views as authoritarian tendencies in the current government's approach to judicial and anti-corruption reforms.
