Abstract

As in most central European countries, the refugee crisis was the main political issue in Slovakia during 2015/2016, generating heated discourse and influencing general elections campaign taking place in March 2016. Prime Minister Fico has taken a hard stand (echoing Kaczyński, Orbán and Miloš Zeman) in an openly islamophobic campaign against the refugees and the EU attempt to redistribute them amongst countries under the system of “quotas”.
