Slovakia's Justice Ministry Prepares Constitutional Amendment to Ease Early Elections

Slovakia's Justice Ministry is preparing a constitutional amendment that would make early elections easier to trigger, giving politicians greater incentive to seek them more frequently. The proposed change would put Slovakia in rare company, as only one other European country has similar provisions for dissolving parliament. The development comes as Prime Minister Robert Fico's government faces ongoing political pressures and follows previous tensions with the Constitutional Court over various legal and institutional matters.
