Slovak opposition withdrew a no-confidence motion against PM Robert Fico's cabinet from parliament after the government fought back, with the premier accusing his rivals planning a "coup" against legally elected officials. However, opposition lawmakers are reportedly preparing to repeat their attempt to unseat the government soon.

  • Yesterday's debate in parliament took place behind closed doors after Fico said he would be citing classified information from a report provided by the Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS).
  • Denik N reported that President Peter Pellegrini was due to visit SIS headquarters this morning to discuss the classified report but there would be no update for the media.
  • The main opposition Progressive Slovakia (PS) party said it would request convening an extraordinary oversight committee to investigate an alleged misuse of the SIS by the government.
  • Furthermore, PS leader Michal Simecka announced that the opposition will make another attempt to call a special meeting of parliament and table a no-confidence motion against the government.
