Roman Šípoš

Roman Šípoš is a close advisor to Robert Fico and has played a significant role in shaping the communication strategies and ideological direction of the Smer party. His involvement in key political decisions, especially during critical moments such as the aftermath of the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak, highlights his influence within the party. Despite his close ties to Smer, Šípoš has faced criticism for the party's conservative and nationalistic stances, particularly regarding the 2016 campaign centered around anti-immigrant sentiment.
