Robert Fico uses political maneuvering to maintain Slovak coalition majority

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has utilized various political maneuvers to maintain a 77-vote coalition majority in parliament during his fourth term. These actions include strategic personnel shifts, such as lending a deputy to the SNS parliamentary club and appointing Rudolf Huliak to a ministerial position to mitigate parliamentary friction.

Other measures include sending Miroslav Radačovský to serve as an ambassador in Cyprus and appointing Samuel Migaľ to a ministerial post following his departure from the Hlas party. Additionally, the Prime Minister restructured the management of a new nuclear power project to bypass disagreements with Minister Saková. The coalition faces potential future instability as Tomáš Taraba signals his intention to return to parliament as an autonomous actor.
