Slovak ruling party rejigs cabinet, clings to power

Slovakia’s ruling party pushed through a cabinet reshuffle as it seeks to hold on to power without a majority after a rival party abandoned the coalition this month.
Prime Minister Eduard Heger’s minority coalition was expected to face a test on Tuesday to muster enough lawmakers to open Slovakia’s parliamentary session. Richard Sulik, who served as economy minister, withdrew his support for the cabinet Sept. 5 after months of political squabbling over fiscal policy and personal grievances.
The spat raises the prospect of an early election as the nation of 5.4 million bordering Ukraine faces its gravest security crisis in decades and spiraling energy costs.
