Slovak PM Fico Backs Justice Minister Despite Coalition Crisis as Parliament Speaker Proposes His Dismissal

Prime Minister Robert Fico expressed support for Justice Minister Boris Susko (Taraba) while acknowledging that maintaining his parliamentary majority takes priority, as coalition tensions escalate over the minister's future. Parliament Speaker Andrej Danko announced plans to propose Susko's dismissal, deepening the crisis within Slovakia's ruling coalition. Fico has called a meeting of the country's three highest constitutional officials to address the growing political standoff. The dispute threatens the stability of Slovakia's government, which relies on a narrow parliamentary majority to remain in power.
