Wasn't the "right", but the "centrist" candidate who said it was a "trampling of democracy". Ah well, cheer up, it'll all be over by Christmas.
Robert Fico wants to emulate Victor Orban and Trump. He is a nationalist and populist.
He pursues a “sovereign” foreign policy, holds a tough stance against non-governmental organisations, and campaigned against LGBT+ rights. He also formed a coalition with the far right.
Some of the things he does from the Guardian:
Fico’s move to close down a special prosecutor’s office focused on high-level corruption has raised the possibility that the EU could freeze some funding allocated to Slovakia.
Legislation that would label civil society groups that receive more than €5,000 (£4,300) a year in international funding as “organisations with foreign support” has also triggered worries in the EU and among NGOs. Amnesty International Slovakia has described the bill as “a thinly disguised attempt to stigmatise civil society organisations that are critical of the authorities and hamper their vital work”.
