Last June, the Slovaks evicted the government that brought the country out of the international isolation and economic malaise that it had suffered under the autocratic regime of Vladimir Meciar. Mikulas Dzurinda, whose reforms provided the country with growth and economic stability, was replaced by Robert Fico, a leftist who, having forged an alliance with Meciar and a neo-fascist party, has also adopted a worrisomely populist tone.
去年六月，斯洛伐克人将当时的政府赶下台。而正是该政府让这个国家摆脱了它在Vladimir Meciar的专制政权下所遭受的国际孤立和经济病态。实行改革使该国经济稳定增长的Mikulas Dzurinda被Robert Fico取代。后者是一个左派，他与Meciar和一个新纳粹政党建立了联盟，同时也是令人担忧的民粹主义思想的拥趸者。
