Fico faces pressure from multiple sides, admits to behind-the-scenes contacts, and faces criminal proceedings
At the same time, new details are emerging about behind-the-scenes contacts supporting the government. Information has reached the wider public that the trip to Moscow before the 2020 elections was organized by Peter Pellegrini, who has ties to Hungary, instead of Fico himself. According to available information, the president criticizes these attempts to influence elections, describing the situation as foolishness that "slams the door." dennikn.sk ↗
Fico also continues to criticize European regulation. The government is requesting a meeting with the Public Procurement Office over the length of inspections, which allegedly slow down EU funds. In addition, Slovakia anticipates a lawsuit against the ban on importing Russian gas and is preparing to support Hungary's lawsuit at the EU court. However, the European Commission has labeled Slovakia's dual diesel pricing as discriminatory and contrary to EU law, and plans legal action against Bratislava. ta3.com ↗
On the domestic scene, political mobilization continues. The extra-parliamentary Demokrati party already approved, during February, a declaration for a referendum to shorten Fico's government's term. At the same time, preparations are underway for a meeting between Fico and the Czech government of Andrej Babiš. The political situation is also intensifying at the level of coalition partners – the Slovak National Party criticizes Fico for failing to stand alongside Orbán in blocking the loan for Ukraine.
