Liberals defeat Slovak PM party in European elections

The opposition liberal party in Slovakia achieved a surprise on Sunday by winning in the European elections against the "Smer-SD" party, led by Prime Minister Robert Fico, known for his pro-Russian inclinations supporting Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Fico was seriously injured in an attack in mid-May, being opposed to military aid to Ukraine. He was considered the frontrunner according to opinion polls, which indicated that the attack he suffered boosted support for his party.

In a message posted on his Facebook page, the "Smer-SD" party offered "congratulations to the winner of the elections, the Progressive Slovakia party."

In its second consecutive victory in the European elections, the Progressive Slovakia party obtained 27.81% of the votes, securing six seats in the European Parliament, according to results published by the Slovak press.
