Slovakia’s general election: the impact of the refugee crisis is likely to push Robert Fico back to power

Voters in Slovakia will go to the polls on 5 March to elect their next government. Daniel Kral previews the election, noting that while the ruling Smer-SD, led by Robert Fico, is unlikely to win an absolute majority, it remains by far the most popular party in the polling and has been helped by the hard line taken by Fico against refugee quotas during the current crisis.
