On Friday, June 12, Prime Minister Robert Fico met in Bratislava with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola and drew her attention to the policy of double standards that, according to him, is applied by European Union institutions, including the European Parliament. He also criticized European Parliament resolutions against Slovakia, which he described as unfair. SITA ↗
The dispute follows earlier criticism of a resolution adopted in Strasbourg, which Fico rejected as a political manifesto lacking objectivity. The European dimension of the conflict primarily concerns the rule of law, EU funds, and the stance of European institutions toward the Slovak government. According to published information, during her visit Metsola emphasized the European Parliament's interest in cooperation and stated that the European Parliament does not want to point fingers at anyone. hnonline.sk ↗
The domestic political context has expanded to include new topics. After visiting the special registry office of the Ministry of Interior, Fico declared that the Slovak civil registry will not register same-sex marriages concluded abroad, since the Constitution of the Slovak Republic defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman. A survey also showed that 40.5 percent of citizens plan to participate in the July referendum, while 45.5 percent say they will not participate. ta3.com ↗
The political dispute over family ties and possible conflicts of interest also continues. New articles return to the income Michal Fico receives from the Smer Agency and also point out that the Prime Minister is promoting the development of autonomous vehicles, while his son works at a company that develops them. aktuality.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the reactions of European institutions following Metsola's visit, on the progress regarding EU funds, and on whether domestic disputes over the Prime Minister's family, the referendum, and cultural-ethical issues become the main themes of the political campaign.
