Slovak Parliamentary Speaker Distances Himself from Government Rhetoric on Social Workers

Andrej Danko, Speaker of Slovakia's parliament and leader of the Slovak National Party, has begun distancing himself from controversial government positions, particularly regarding statements about social workers that marked a departure from more moderate stances of the past. The development suggests growing tensions within Slovakia's ruling coalition. Meanwhile, advocacy efforts on behalf of Russian oligarchs have temporarily subsided, while Slovakia achieved a notable diplomatic success during recent proceedings in Prague.
