Slovakia votes on Fico's reforms
Today, Slovaks are participating in a referendum to decide whether to abolish lifetime pensions for populist Prime Minister Robert Fico and other leaders after their terms end, as well as to reopen the Office of the Special Prosecutor and the National Crime Agency. This referendum was triggered by a petition signed by more than 350,000 citizens and aims to eliminate benefits that allow former Prime Ministers to receive monthly pensions similar to Parliament members' salaries, which were approved after the 2024 assassination attempt on Fico. Voter turnout is expected to be below 50%, which is the requirement for the referendum to succeed, as all previous referendums, except for the 2003 referendum, have failed.
