Slovak National Party calls on president to address oil supply crisis
The Slovak National Party (SNS) has called on President Peter Pellegrini to take action on Slovakia's looming energy crisis and the restoration of Russian oil supplies to the Slovnaft refinery. The opposition party criticized the president while highlighting his attendance at the Paralympics in Italy, suggesting he should focus on domestic energy security issues instead. The call comes amid concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies that could affect Slovakia's energy sector. Slovnaft, the country's main oil refinery owned by Hungarian energy giant MOL, has been a key recipient of Russian crude oil, making any supply disruptions a matter of national economic concern. SNS, a nationalist opposition party that previously served in coalition governments, appears to be using the energy issue to pressure the president on foreign policy matters while questioning his priorities during the current crisis.
