What's happening in Slovakia?

Journalists draw attention to the fact that on January 24, people took to the streets in almost 30 Slovak cities under the slogan "Slovakia is Europe."

Slovaks do not hide that they are outraged by the policy of the Robert Fico government towards rapprochement with the aggressor country Russia.

What is important to understand is that rallies were also held in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Ireland.

In addition, it is noted that more than 10 thousand people gathered in the city of Banská Bystrica, about 5 thousand in Trenčín and Žilina, about 4 thousand in Poprad and Nitra, and about a thousand fewer people came to the demonstration in Trnava.

Fico is afraid of the Slovak “Maidan”

As early as January 21, the Prime Minister of Slovakia began claiming that the country's opposition forces were allegedly planning to organize riots and occupy government buildings.

According to Robert Fico, he received such information from the Slovak Information Service (SIS).

The pro-Russian politician began to complain that the Slovak opposition "really wants" to call for Maidan, planning to use the moment after the next parliamentary elections to do so.

However, Fico did not want to disclose the details of the report.

In a normal democratic state that respects the rule of law, security forces take action because it is a violation of the law, and in some cases even a violation of the Criminal Code.

It is worth noting that opposition forces denied preparing the riots.
