At its session in Strasbourg, the European Parliament passed a resolution expressing concerns about the possible violation of the European Union's fundamental values in Slovakia. The document was supported by 347 MEPs and calls on the European Commission to assess the situation, including the risks involved in the use of EU funds. Prime Minister Robert Fico rejected the resolution as a political manifesto lacking objectivity, and claims that EU fund payments to Slovakia are arriving without any problems. ta3.com ↗
The discussion on Ukraine's associate membership in the European Union has also been added to the European agenda. Progressive Slovakia deputy chairman Ivan Korčok stated that Ukraine has the right to sit at the European table, and that such a step should not come at the expense of the Western Balkan countries.

At the same time, Fico continues his domestic political line concerning same-sex marriages contracted abroad. He asked members of parliament for implementing regulations to the constitution, so that it is clear that such couples cannot demand registration of their marriage in Slovak civil registries. He also criticized efforts to recognize same-sex marriages. ta3.com ↗
New developments also concern opposition proposals to recall government and parliamentary representatives. Following the concrete scandal at the Prešov hospital, the opposition is demanding the recall of Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák, and, in connection with the Purgatory (Očistec) case, also the recall of Deputy Speaker of Parliament Tibor Gašpar. Fico is defending both of them. Meanwhile, self-employed business organizations have rejected Fico's claims about tax non-payment, warning that generalizations distort the picture of small entrepreneurs. hnonline.sk ↗
Tension therefore remains concentrated on the government's relationship with European institutions, constitutional issues, opposition recall motions, and economic disputes. Further developments may also be influenced by Monday's extraordinary parliamentary session concerning Minister Tomáš Taraba. SITA ↗
