👩 Mother

The principal in Staškov is facing threats following the recent tragedy, and the prosecutor’s office took the unusual step of denying that it had delayed the release of the murdered teacher’s body. While the attacker’s mother is reportedly in custody, the town is struggling with the fear that follows an event of this kind and is looking for ways to manage the trauma. A coalition crisis and a looming budget are occupying the capital, but the national conversation has turned to the finer points of NATO’s Article 5. Legal and political analysts are debating what exactly a mutual defense pact would require of the country in practice, and whether it would lead to immediate military action or something more measured. The Social Insurance Fund warned it may lack the cash to pay a promised thirteenth pension, suggesting it has barely enough to cover eight. In Bratislava, politicians continue to argue over whether the government’s survival is a matter of policy or merely a lack of alternatives.
