Opposition Party Targets Slovak Prime Minister's Partner in Political Counterattack

Progressive Slovakia (PS), the country's main opposition party, has escalated its political confrontation with Prime Minister Robert Fico by targeting his partner Katarína Szalayová. The opposition party suggested that Szalayová may be receiving payments from state funds, marking a shift toward more aggressive personal attacks in Slovak politics. PS leader Michal Šimečka described certain individuals as "parasites" while launching what the party characterized as a "hard counterattack" against the ruling government. The move represents Progressive Slovakia's attempt to intensify pressure on Fico's administration, though the strategy has reportedly created internal divisions within the opposition party itself.
