🇸🇰 Fico announced his intention to continue the anti-European campaign after the elections in Hungary

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that he is ready to continue an anti-European campaign if Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is defeated, but his options are limited by the country’s dependence on EU financial support, Bloomberg reports.

Sources indicate that the Slovak government’s position is less stable than Budapest’s, making it difficult for Fico to become the main opponent of Brussels. The prime minister may have to back down due to the risk of losing access to over €90 billion in loans for Ukraine and nearly €19 billion in aid to Slovakia by 2027, which amounts to about 14% of the country’s GDP.

Sociological surveys show weak positions for the current coalition ahead of the parliamentary elections in fall 2026. Diplomats also warn of possible external influence from Russia, including on voting outcomes in Slovakia.

Fico’s former allies believe that the prime minister will try to balance criticism of the EU with demonstrating the importance of the country’s membership in the union.
