Slovak president floats Fico-Šimeček coalition; commentators call it absurd, panic-driven

Slovak President Peter Pellegrini has suggested a possible coalition between Robert Fico's Smer and Michal Šimeček's Progressive Slovakia, a pairing commentators dismiss as absurd and indicative of presidential panic ahead of elections. The proposal contradicts Pellegrini's earlier refusal to form such a coalition himself, raising questions about his political motives and the stability of the current government.
