Opposition Leader Rejects PM Fico's Challenge, Calls Him a Coward
Share:
Opposition leader Michal Šimečka rejected Prime Minister Robert Fico's challenge for a political debate, calling Fico a coward in response. Government politicians, who typically hold press conferences even on weekends, claimed they wanted to give Slovakia "at least one weekend without politics." The dispute arose as a commercial television station had already planned not to air one of its regular political programs due to hockey world championships coverage.
