Slovak Opposition Claims Government Making Country Subservient to Hungary Again

Opposition critics in Slovakia have accused the current ruling coalition of reducing the country to a subordinate position under Hungarian influence, comparing the situation to Slovakia's historical status as part of the Hungarian Kingdom for centuries. The criticism suggests that Slovak government policies are aligning the country too closely with Hungary's positions, effectively making Budapest rather than Bratislava the decision-making center for Slovak affairs. This reflects broader tensions within the European Union about Hungary's increasingly authoritarian policies under Viktor Orbán's government and concerns about democratic backsliding in the region.
