Slovak Caretaker PM Resigns Amid Political Turmoil.

Slovak caretaker Prime Minister Eduard Heger has resigned ahead of an election that is expected to favor the pro-Russia Smer-SD party. Heger, who has been running a caretaker government since last September, cited the need for a technocrat government to lead Slovakia to democratic parliamentary elections. President Zuzana Čaputová will now decide on the head of a new caretaker government until the election scheduled in September. Former Prime Minister Robert Fico’s pro-Russia Smer-SD party has been voters’ favorite to lead Slovakia, according to polls.
