Slovakia’s political parties rushed to find a way to approve Europe’s enhanced bailout fund after lawmakers rejected it amid a dispute over the future of Prime Minister Iveta Radicova.
Radicova wants to start talks today with the opposition on a second vote, according to spokesman Michal Lukac. The premier said the only country in the 17-member euro area yet to approve European Financial Stability Facility must find a solution to the issue “as soon as possible.” No time for a new vote has been set.
