“We are following here in Hungary the unusual domestic political events currently taking place in Slovakia,” the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade said on Saturday in regards to criminal charges filed against former Slovak premier Robert Fico.
A special unit of the Slovak police, the National Law Enforcement Agency, has launched proceedings against former Slovak prime minister Robert Fico, now the chair of the opposition Direction – Slovak Social Democracy (Smer-SD) party, and the former interior minister in his government, Robert Kalina.
The two Slovak politicians are suspected of setting up and promoting a criminal group and abusing their official powers. [Népszava]
