Slovaks are waiting for a referendum on abolishing Fico's lifetime pension on Saturday

The article discusses an upcoming Slovak referendum on abolishing lifetime pensions for former prime ministers who served at least two complete four-year terms. The current Prime Minister, Robert Fico, meets this criterion. The referendum also includes a question on whether to restore the Special Prosecutor's Office and the National Criminal Agency, both of which were abolished by Fico's government. The referendum was triggered by the Democratic Party, which collected enough signatures to qualify. However, experts suggest voter turnout could be low due to minimal campaigning. The presidential office did not schedule the vote due to potential constitutional conflict.
