European Tribune - Comments - Slovakia: Lisbon Treaty vote and domestic turmoil

Slovakia: Lisbon Treaty vote and domestic turmoil | 11 comments (11 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

You'll find an intore to Slovakian politics in Ahead of the Slovakian Elections... I note that while the big issue then was (the undoing of) the healthcare privatisation and flat-tax reforms, in government Fico's attempts on both fronts stalled after minor changes. But nationalism didn't stall. Tossing out Mečiar's party was a textbook example of Machiavellian politics, however.

Tossing out Mečiar's party

Correction: tossing out the minister of agriculture from Mečiar's party (and the Machiavellian move was to pretend the entire party will be tossed out & bring up the investigation of mafia connections of Mečiar's past government).
