In Slovakia's presidential election, Peter Pellegrini secured victory, aligning with pro-Russian Prime Minister Robert Fico's influence. Pellegrini emphasized support for the government's agenda and opposed the liberal opposition. Fico, in his fourth term, shifted foreign policy towards Russia, prompting concerns about legal erosion. Pellegrini won 53.26% of the vote, defeating pro-Western Ivan Korcok. Presidents possess limited executive powers but can influence laws and nominate judges. Fico's coalition, including Pellegrini's party, halted arms shipments to Ukraine, citing Western interference concerns. Pellegrini accused Korcok of warmongering for supporting Ukraine, a claim Korcok denied.
