Share:
A new book titled "Fico - Possessed by Revenge" has been released examining the behind-the-scenes negotiations that led to the formation of Robert Fico's fourth government in Slovakia. The publication explores the post-election bargaining process, including why Peter Pellegrini earned the nickname "sidekick" and what concessions were made to key figures from the Slovak National Party (SNS) candidate list. The book provides insight into the coalition-building process that brought Fico back to power as prime minister. Slovakia's current government is a coalition between Fico's Smer-SD party, Pellegrini's Hlas party, and the nationalist SNS party, formed after the September 2023 parliamentary elections.
