The political earthquake in Central Europe took the world, it also affected Slovakia
Good day,
it is seldom the case that Central Europe is closely watched by the whole world. However, over the past seven days, so many important things have happened in our region that focus on the three states we are neighboring.
Although Slovakia has remained on the margins of interest this time, events from the surrounding countries also affect us.
What has happened: Two local politicians, who have dominated their countries in recent years, have had a bad week.
Now the former Austrian office, Sebastian Kurz, initially rejected criticism for the case, which is suffering from ordering false surveys, but eventually resigned.
Opposition and his coalition partner also pushed for Kurz, and the 35-year-old politician said it would be best for his political future if he withdrew now.
His Austrian People’s Party remains in power, though its preferences fell right in the first poll after the scandal broke out, Kurz remains the leader of the People’s Party.
He may be jeopardized by an investigation in which the first arrest has already taken place. Police arrested a woman who had nothing.
Babiš also ends: However, if Kurza does not blame or convict, he can run for one candidacy again, and if people elect him, he will have a strong argument for returning to government after the next election.
Exchange rate resignation surprised. As well as the electoral defeat of Andrej Babiš. There is a lot of post-election trials in the Czech chaos, which is related to the hospitalization of President Zeman, but it is very likely that Babiš will be replaced by two opposition coalitions.
Petr Fiala, an intellectual, academic and former rector, who could hardly be more different than Babiš, should become the prime minister.
His inauguration may change the dynamics of the Visegrad Four, where they are becoming more at the forefront of populism and the premature attacks on Brussels, fueled by three of the four leaders.
What it will bring: Although Fialova’s ODS in the European Parliament is in the faction of conservatives and reformists together with the Polish ruling party PiS, Babiš is still much closer to their rhetoric. As well as to Orbán, to whom they move more before the elections.
It is for Slovakia
