Green Wave

the latest

Slovak voters head to the polls on the 30th September for early parliamentary elections. One of the winners looks set to be former Prime Minister Robert Fico – forced out after the 2018 murder of an investigative journalist – and now helped along by alt-right and pro-Kremlin narratives. So what happened? From covid to the war in Ukraine, Zuzana Kepplová unpacks the last few years of Slovak politics and explains how Igor Matovič and his SMER party, who took over after 2018, have laid the groundwork for this far-right comeback.

Written by Zuzana Kepplová.
