Fico's government could be forced to resign
In Slovakia, Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government must face a vote of confidence in parliament following a ruling by the country’s Constitutional Court.
The reason is that the national debt has exceeded the threshold set by law. According to official data, Slovakia’s debt has reached 61.4% of GDP, which triggered the constitutional mechanisms for overseeing government activities.
The Constitutional Court ordered the Cabinet to immediately initiate a vote of confidence in parliament. This decision is unprecedented in Slovak politics.
If the government fails to secure the support of a majority of lawmakers, this could lead to its resignation and a subsequent political crisis in the country.

Slovak President Peter Pellegrini stated that the country is ramping up ammunition production and is already among the key suppliers within NATO. According to him, the volume of military aid to Ukraine will continue to grow.
