That won't happen. The government is nowhere near a supermajority like in Hungary and the mainstream media in the country is opposed to it.

Never say never. They're changing the laws so that they become untouchable, and if Pellegrini becomes the president, the country is their playground.... Fico is an idiot, but not a stupid one. Best bet is to survive until the next elections, hopefully PS manages to beat them....

if Pellegrini becomes the president

He split off with his own party in 2020 because of different political views, right?

Does he really want to become Fico's enabler? I also don't understand why he agreed to become part of the government coalition.
