Over 100 Slovak psychiatrists sound alarm over Fico

Over 100 Slovak psychiatrists have expressed serious concerns about the state of democracy under Prime Minister Robert Fico in an open letter, accusing him of aggressive rhetoric and a troubling foreign policy that endangers Slovakia's position in the EU and NATO.
The letter, signed by 155 psychiatrists, highlights Fico's emotional instability following an assassination attempt in May 2024, and warns of increasing frustration among the Slovak population, with some considering leaving the country.
The psychiatrists criticized Fico's authoritarian behavior, stating that he manipulates facts and neglects critical issues like infrastructure and healthcare while focusing on consolidating power for himself and his party.
In response, Fico dismissed the letter as politicization of their profession and threatened the authors, claiming they support opposition efforts to destabilize his government.
