Slovakia will hold a referendum on July 4, announced by the president Peter Pellegrini, where voters will decide whether to scrap lifelong payments for long-serving leaders like Robert Fico and whether to restore the abolished special prosecutor’s office and National Crime Agency.
The vote comes after a petition backed by over 350,000 people, led by the opposition Democrats. The lifelong payments were introduced after the 2024 assassination attempt on Fico, while the special prosecutor’s office was shut down by his government despite protests and criticism tied to corruption concerns.
Early elections won’t be on the ballot due to a Constitutional Court ruling. Referendums in Slovakia rarely succeed – only the 2003 EU membership vote passed, so turnout will be key.

There will also be a vote about the reinstatement of the Special Prosecutor’s Office and the National Crime Agency

Honestly the best thing people can do now is actually read the exact referendum wording before voting, not just party spin. If turnout’s usually low, maybe convince one relative to go too.

What is the cost of a referendum vs how much they get?

Why would you trust the brain-dead plebs to vote responsibly in referendums? We don’t do that in Czechia

To anyone not from Slovakia, don’t get your hopes up. There was only one referendum in history which crossed the 50% threshold. It’s a good political campaign from the opposition party, but referendums aren’t really successful in the country.

Fully support this. Fico finally paying lifelong reparations to the Slovak people for his ‘service’ is exactly the kind of referendum we need. Let’s make him pay every single cent back. 😀

The brainwashed elders will vote in favorÂ
