Political Turmoil in Slovakia: EU Exit Allegations

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faces mounting pressure amidst accusations of planning Slovakia's exit from the European Union. The opposition, led by Michal Šimečka, has challenged Fico's government, citing concerns over his pro-Russian stance and criticism of NATO and the EU.

Fico's recent visit to Moscow and his rhetoric against Ukraine have intensified these allegations. Despite surviving a no-confidence motion, the controversy continues as Fico's Smer party holds a parliamentary majority.

The government has also suggested restricting national sovereignty and aid to Ukrainian refugees. Fico, who returned to power after a populist election victory, has been accused of undermining Slovakia's EU commitments.

The allegations have sparked significant political unrest, with calls for Fico to alter his approach or step down. As Slovakia navigates this political crisis, questions about its future in the EU remain contentious.
