“Robert Fico’s recent trip to Moscow is backfiring in the very theater it was supposed to score him points — back home. The Russia-friendly Slovak leader is facing the most serious threat to his rule since returning to office last October, with the entire opposition joining forces on Wednesday to propose a no-confidence vote in his government. Crucially, the PM’s Dec. 22 Moscow visit has also turned some of his own allies against him, with four coalition MPs from the social-democratic Hlas (Voice) party having distanced themselves from the trip, blocked some coalition proposals and announced a visit to Kyiv.” (01/15/25)
