"Slovakia's Elections: A Reflection of War Fatigue?"

Slovakia is set to hold elections at the end of this month, with former Prime Minister Robert Fico and his Smer – sociálna demokracia party leading in the polls. The country is grappling with economic turmoil, including high inflation and falling behind neighboring countries economically. The war in Ukraine has also had economic ramifications for Slovakia. The outcome of the elections could indicate the voting behavior of a war-weary and economically burdened populace, with potential implications for next year's presidential election.
