European nation votes on Prime Minister's pay
Today, Saturday, citizens in Slovakia are voting in a special referendum to cancel the "lifetime salary" allowances for former Prime Ministers, which are legally granted to those who have served two terms in office. These allowances were modified after the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico in 2024. It is worth noting that the expected turnout is unlikely to exceed 50%, which is the minimum percentage required for the referendum to be successful. Since Slovakia joined the European Union in 2003, no other referendum has ever been successful in the country.
