Progressive Slovakia Launches Sharp Attack on Former PM Matovič

Progressive Slovakia, an opposition liberal party, has launched a fierce political attack against Igor Matovič, the former prime minister and current leader of the OĽaNO party. The confrontation appears to have caught Matovič off guard, with observers noting he likely did not expect the progressives to engage with such intensity. Matovič, who served as prime minister from 2020 to 2021, leads OĽaNO, a populist anti-corruption party that was part of the previous governing coalition but now sits in opposition following the 2023 elections that brought Robert Fico's Smer-SD party back to power.
