Center-right Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger on Monday announced his resignation ahead of September elections in which the Moscow-backed leftist Smer-SD Party, led by former Prime Minister Robert Fico – a traitor who blames “Ukrainian fascists” for starting the war and opposes continuing Slovakia’s generous support for defending Kyiv – is expected to return to power once again following his stints as premier from 2006 to 2010 and 2012 to 2018, the Guardian reports.
Slovakian President Zuzana Čaputová named central bank deputy governor Ľudovít Ódor to serve as “caretaker” prime minister, making him the third such seat warmer to lead the increasingly politically unstable Central European nation since 2020. The whole situation serves as a reminder that despite the constant news about how incompetently the Putin Regime conducts its business at home and on the battlefield, they still remain a formidable threat to Western democracy politically.
