I believe that such healthy judgments will have more and more and can resist the government coalition,” He told reporters. Igor Matovič, the leader of the Movement Slovakia, also described the annuity for the head of the prosecutors. “Robert Fico has bad days – he lost the institute yesterday, he lost the annuity for Žilina today. Just then Slovakia,” said after the vote.
