I have no love for Fico but this is not the way. This will slide Slovakia towards more to the far right - and more quickly. This is also just before EU elections and the ruling parties will absolutely use this (they already are).
I wouldn’t say he’s a fascist. He only ever presents what the majority of the voters wants to hear.
Every time the party needs a new demographic on board, he either changes the rethoric, or, if it’s a taboo topic, allies himselves with people not afraid of breaking that taboo.
That’s one sure-fire way to get rid of fascists.
My grandfather did it in the 1940s.

Fascist and populist are not mutually exclusive.
