Slovak presidents dismisses government, urges early elections

Slovak President Zuzana Caputova dismissed Prime Minister Eduard Heger's government on Friday after it fell in a no-confidence vote, raising political instability and a possible path to early elections in 2023.

Caputova asked Heger and his cabinet to stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new government can be formed, but also said that political leaders should look at steps to call early elections in the first half of next year.
