Protests Erupt Across Slovakia Against PM Fico's Pro-Russian Shift

News summary

In Slovakia, tens of thousands are protesting against Prime Minister Robert Fico's pro-Russian policies, particularly following his recent trip to Moscow for talks with President Putin. Demonstrations have erupted in over 50 cities, including abroad, under the slogan 'Slovakia is Europe,' reflecting fears that Fico's government might steer the country away from the EU and NATO. Protesters are demanding his resignation, fueled by Fico's controversial statements regarding foreign policy and accusations that protest organizers are linked to foreign entities. Despite Fico's claims of a coup attempt being orchestrated against his government, protest organizers maintain that their actions are peaceful and aimed at preserving Slovakia's democratic alignment with European values. These protests, the largest since those in 2018, highlight growing dissatisfaction with Fico's administration, which has curtailed military support for Ukraine and criticized EU sanctions against Russia. As the opposition parties push for a vote of no confidence, tensions continue to escalate in the country regarding its geopolitical stance.
