In this episode, Kafkadesk contributor Adrien Beauduin interviews political sociologist Michal Vašečka , president of the Bratislava Policy Institute, about the Slovak parliamentary elections taking place on 30 September.
They analyse the political turmoil of the last years; explain the success of nationalist and conservative parties; and sketch possible future coalitions, including the possible return to power of former prime minister Robert Fico, who might take Slovakia down the Hungarian road towards illiberal democracy. Finally, they reflect on the success of pro-Russian narratives and on the elections’ potential impact on EU and NATO help for Ukraine.
