欧洲社会主义党(PES)一致驱逐斯洛伐克总理罗伯特·菲科(Robert Fico)领导的Smer党,因为其严重违反了民主价值观。 The Party of European Socialists (PES) unanimously expelled Slovakia’s Smer party, led by Prime Minister Robert Fico, over serious breaches of democratic values. 2025年10月17日在阿姆斯特丹举行的一次大会上做出的决定引用了菲科的亲俄罗斯立场,他参加了5月莫斯科二战胜利庆祝活动,使他成为尽管遭到全集团抵制仍能出席的唯一欧盟领导人,以及破坏斯洛伐克法治的行动。 The decision, made at a congress in Amsterdam on October 17, 2025, cited Fico’s pro-Russian stance, his attendance at Moscow’s WWII victory celebrations in May—making him the only EU leader to attend despite a bloc-wide boycott—and actions undermining the rule of law in Slovakia. 菲科政府也阻止欧盟对俄罗斯实施新的制裁, 对欧盟关于乌克兰的集体政策提出了挑战。 Fico’s government has also blocked new EU sanctions against Russia, challenging collective EU policy on Ukraine. 经济、社会和文化权利委员会强调,成员资格要求坚持核心民主原则,认为驱逐是一个关于问责的明确信息。 The PES emphasized that membership requires adherence to core democratic principles, calling the expulsion a clear message on accountability.
