New reports indicate that Russian GRU operatives, allegedly involved in arson in Munich, were operating from the nation and had planned an attack near Prešov. This has spurred opposition members of parliament to urge Prime Minister Robert Fico to convene a security council meeting, citing concerns over alleged Russian influence and information leaks.
Amidst these security concerns, domestic political analyses suggest that Prime Minister Robert Fico is losing his majority support, attributed to his past focus on protecting allies. Separately, a significant development has occurred in the investigation surrounding the detention of prosecutor Michal Šúrek, with his temporary suspension being lifted, though the criminal case against him continues.
Economically, the country faces a critical situation with warnings of empty shelves and soaring prices, potentially leading to the loss of 135,000 farm animals. On a positive note, Slovak cyclist Viktória Chladoňová has confirmed her status as a top talent, becoming the women's under-23 road world champion in Montreal.
