The opposition said that Prime Minister Fico is not coping with the tasks facing the government and that he is trying to question the country's political course.

"Robert Fico left Slovakia. Instead of being at home and solving problems that concern people, he travels the world, bows to dictators, enjoys luxury somewhere in Vietnam. He insults our neighbors and partners... We will not allow Fico to turn Slovakia eastward," said Michal Šimečka, leader of Progressive Slovakia.
