Korčok Reflects on Presidential Campaign, Criticizes Pellegrini's Record

Former presidential candidate Ivan Korčok has criticized President Peter Pellegrini's performance, outlining what he views as Pellegrini's missteps since taking office. Korčok, who lost to Pellegrini in Slovakia's 2024 presidential election, said he has not forgotten the campaign and suggested that the ruling coalition will use similar tactics in next year's parliamentary elections. The comments reflect ongoing political tensions between opposition figures and the current government led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD party, of which Pellegrini was formerly a member before founding his own Hlas party, which now forms part of the ruling coalition.
