After thousands took to the streets of Bratislava last week to protest the sacking of the country’s National Gallery head, Alexandra Kusá, hundreds from the international arts community have signed a letter in her defence. Slovakia's hard-right Culture Minister Martina Šimkovičová dismissed Kusá earlier this month, together with theatre head Matej Drlička, in what some in the country see as a political purge. “This decision has undermined the independence of the cultural field in your country and damaged the trust in and reputation of Slovak culture internationally,” the letter calling for Kus...

Thousands of Slovak protesters have taken to the streets of Bratislava to denounce a string of controversial government decisions they say are proof of the erosion of the rule of law and democratic freedoms in the country. In recent days, three events have unleashed pent-up frustrations with Robert Fico’s coalition government, in which his left-wing nationalist Smer party relies on allies, including the ultranationalist Slovak National Party (SNS). The first was a purge of the directors of the Slovak National Theatre and National Gallery by hard-right culture minister Martina Šimkovičová, who ...

The Hungarian government’s arguments against Ukraine’s sanctions on Russian oil company Lukoil are falling apart. Hungary accused Ukraine of “blackmail” and endangering its energy security after Ukrainian sanctions blocked Lukoil, Russia’s second-largest oil company, from transiting crude oil through the Druzhba pipeline in June. Hungary and Slovakia were exempt from the EU’s Russian oil sanctions in 2022, which made up 65-70% of supplies to Hungarian oil refiner Mol and its Slovakian subsidiary Slovnaft in May 2024. But Hungary’s panic-imbued rhetoric has fallen flat as country fails to find ...

This association agreement sti...
