Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico is under fire from the largest opposition party, accused of attempting to withdraw Slovakia from the EU. Amid protests against his ties to Moscow and escalating tensions following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Fico labeled opposition actions as a coup attempt. He insisted on Slovakia's commitments to EU and NATO membership, while unrest grows, especially after his threats to cut financial aid to Ukrainian refugees. Protests reflect widespread concerns over Fico’s government and foreign policy direction.
We see a structure that wants to exploit these meetings and these rallies primarily for a possible clash with the security forces of the state.
It is an attempt to organise a typical coup in Slovakia so that the government falls and those who cannot get into power through democratic parliamentary elections come to power.
Despite opposition claims, Fico reaffirmed that Slovakia would maintain its membership in both the EU and NATO.
Fico has also threatened to cut financial aid for more than 130,000 Ukrainian refugees living in Slovakia.
