Fico stated that from the very beginning it was a typical political process, comparable to the processes of the 1950s.

“This trial, led by Judge Záleska, was even worse,” he said. The judge sentenced Kováčik to a 14-year sentence, according to the head of Smer, on the basis of “practically nothing”. Fico called the former special prosecutor an innocent man.

“It is unbelievable how arbitrarily the judge decided. She still refused to take evidence in favor of Dušan Kováčik,” she claims. According to him, Záleská acted arbitrarily from the very beginning to the end.

According to him, he also developed a friendly relationship between the judge and the journalist Monika Tódová. As he pointed out, she wrote articles against Kováčik.

“What objectivity can we talk about in this context,” he said. Fico, who came to hear the verdict directly in court in Pezinok, accused the journalists and “congratulated” them for “dirty work”.

The non-parliamentary party Hlas also commented on the verdict. In its opinion, it stated that it respects the decisions of the courts, but at the same time perceives that the judgment is not final. “That is why we will wait for the final verdict,” Patrícia Medveď Macíková, a spokeswoman for the Voice, told TASR.
