Smer-SD, Slovakia's ruling social-democratic party, will run independently in upcoming elections and will win by percentage, Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok declared. The announcement comes as the government prepares to present pro-growth economic measures to the cabinet on Wednesday. Smer-SD currently leads Slovakia's coalition government under Prime Minister Robert Fico, having returned to power in 2023 after winning parliamentary elections on a platform opposing military aid to Ukraine and promising to end what it called anti-corruption witch hunts targeting the party.
