Opposition MP Warns Slovakia Following Greek Economic Path Under Fico Government

Opposition lawmaker Marián Viskupič from the liberal Freedom and Solidarity party (SaS) warned that Slovakia is following the same economic trajectory that led to Greece's debt crisis, criticizing Prime Minister Robert Fico's government for losing touch with reality. Viskupič compared the government's pro-growth measures to "treating cancer with aspirin," arguing they are inadequate to address Slovakia's economic challenges. The opposition MP called for drastic cuts to government spending, including reforms to the pension and social systems as well as reductions in public administration, warning that without such painful measures, Slovakia cannot reverse its current economic course. Freedom and Solidarity is part of Slovakia's parliamentary opposition, while Fico leads a coalition government dominated by his Smer-SD party.
