Slovak Opposition Party SaS to Announce Steps Against Government's Pro-Putin Foreign Policy

Slovakia's opposition party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) will hold a press conference to outline further steps against what it calls the government's pro-Putin foreign policy. SaS chairman Branislav Gröhling will lead the announcement alongside several party parliamentarians and the party's foreign policy expert. The liberal opposition party has been critical of the current government's stance on Russia and Ukraine, positioning itself as advocating for stronger pro-Western alignment. SaS, which previously served in coalition governments, now sits in opposition to the ruling coalition led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD party, which has taken a more Russia-friendly position since returning to power.
