• The Slovak opposition, which is attempting to pass a vote of no confidence in Fico's government, rejects these claims and says they are just a tactic to intimidate citizens.
• Protests against Prime Minister Robert Fico's government policies are taking place in over 20 Slovak cities. The protests began on the evening of Friday, 24 January, under the slogan "Slovakia is Europe".
