Former Finance Minister Criticizes Fourth Fico Government's Approach
Share:
Former Finance Minister Ivan Mikloš published a commentary criticizing what he described as the dilettantism of Robert Fico's fourth government. Mikloš, who served as finance minister under previous center-right administrations, expressed concerns about the current government's competence in handling state affairs. Robert Fico returned to power as Prime Minister in October 2023, leading a coalition government with his social-democratic Smer-SD party alongside the nationalist Slovak National Party and the populist Hlas party. This marks Fico's fourth term as Prime Minister, having previously served from 2006-2010 and 2012-2018, with his third term ending after mass protests following the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak.
