Prime Minister Robert Fico is announcing a criminal complaint against Judge Pamela Záleská of the Specialized Criminal Court on suspicion of abuse of power by a public official in the case of former special prosecutor Dušan Kováčik. Fico claims that the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic overturned the ruling in this case because the decision was unlawful, and that Judge Záleská ruled with bias. The Prime Minister will co-sign the criminal complaint and is also demanding that the Minister of Justice pursue disciplinary proceedings against her. Fico stated that if Záleská does not bear responsibility, then the rule of law can perhaps be forgotten. Judge Pamela Záleská is not responding to these statements by representatives of the governing Smer party. SITA ↗
Regarding the alleged influencing of the 2023 parliamentary elections, Fico stated that at the time, the relevant criminal offense did not yet exist, and that is why he did not file any submission with the police. Police confirmed that they have issued a decision to close the review in this case, although it has not yet become legally final. The Chcem tu zostať [I Want to Stay Here] initiative responded to the closure of the investigation by noting that no unlawful conduct was confirmed. Fico's claims from last year about an attempt by the United Kingdom to influence the elections have thus fallen apart without any concrete evidence. ta3.com ↗
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó is finding himself at the center of an international scandal. Investigative journalists have published new recordings and transcripts of conversations between Szijjártó and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in which the Hungarian minister informs Lavrov about the European Union's plans and offers confidential documents. The conversations also reveal coordination between Hungary and Russia in blocking Ukraine's accession to the EU. In the conversations, Szijjártó also mentions Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár. The French Minister of Foreign Affairs described the conversations as a betrayal of European solidarity, and the recordings show that Szijjártó, at the Kremlin's request, sought to weaken the EU's sanctions against Russia. pluska.sk ↗
Michal Šimečka, leader of the opposition Progressive Slovakia party, criticized Prime Minister Fico for his statements at Bratislava's Slavín memorial, where, according to Šimečka, Fico is casting doubt on Slovakia's clear anchoring in Europe. Šimečka claims the Prime Minister is obscuring his true intentions and has no moral right to claim ownership of the word "peace." At Slavín, during the celebrations marking the liberation of Bratislava, Fico questioned who Slovakia should trust in the event of NATO's collapse, and recalled the French and British betrayal of 1938.
