Social Media: #SlovakiaProtests #SlovakiaIsEurope #DownWithFico
Thousands of Slovaks have taken to the streets across the nation, denouncing Prime Minister Robert Fico's alleged pro-Russian policies. With rallies in Bratislava and over 40 other cities, protesters demand Fico's resignation and voice their opposition to his foreign policies. The movement, which started after Fico's trip to Moscow, is pushing back against his comments suggesting Slovakia might exit the EU and NATO. As tensions rise and the next parliamentary elections approach in 2027, Fico's grip on power remains shaky due to mounting public pressure for change.
