Slovak Prime Minister Fico Withdraws from TV Debate as Opposition Leader Calls for His Resignation
Share:
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has withdrawn from participating in an upcoming television discussion program. Progressive Slovakia chairman Michal Šimečka responded to the withdrawal by stating that if Fico wants peace from politics, he should pack up and leave office. Progressive Slovakia is the main opposition party in Slovakia's parliament, positioned as a liberal pro-European force against Fico's ruling Smer-SD party, which has taken increasingly authoritarian and pro-Russian stances since returning to power.
