Smer Accuses Progressive Slovakia of Exploiting Tragedies for Political Gain

Slovakia's ruling Smer-SD party has accused the opposition Progressive Slovakia (PS) movement of exploiting national tragedies for political purposes. Tibor Gašpar, a Smer representative, referenced a recent railway crossing accident, while party colleague Plevíková mentioned the Day of Daffodils commemoration. The accusations reflect ongoing tensions between Smer-SD, Slovakia's governing social-democratic party, and Progressive Slovakia, a liberal opposition movement that has been critical of the government's policies and response to various incidents.
