The latest episode of the Slovak podcast “Štátny nezáujem” (State Disinterest), released on March 6, 2026, delves into the current political climate, touching on topics ranging from potential shifts in Slovak politics to recent events involving prominent figures. Hosted by Piatoček, the podcast, available on SME.sk and other platforms, offers a satirical take on weekly events.
The episode, lasting 23 minutes, sparked discussion around the idea of transforming Slovak politics into a “Premier League” style competition, a commentary on the increasing intensity and perceived competitiveness within the political sphere. The podcast too addressed recent developments involving individuals referred to as “Kukláči” and “Čurillovci,” noting a coincidental timing between their interactions and a public appearance by former Prime Minister Robert Fico alongside Gabriel Gašpar.
A central theme of the podcast revolved around Fico’s rhetoric of “Slovakia first,” contrasting it with perceptions of prioritizing Slovak citizens abroad. The hosts highlighted what they characterized as a discrepancy between the stated nationalistic stance and actions concerning Slovaks residing in Dubai.
The podcast episode also featured a discussion about a “large conspiratorial pub debate” involving advisors to the Prime Minister, suggesting a gathering of individuals with potentially far-reaching influence.
