Slovakia protests against Fico government’s judicial reforms.

Protesters in Slovakia demand President Pellegrini veto changes to the judicial system pushed by Prime Minister Fico’s government, claiming they undermine the rule of law. Thousands rally in multiple cities against legislative changes that dismantle whistleblower protection and alter crown witness procedures. Progressive Slovakia leads the protest, criticizing Fico’s administration for favoring criminals and the mafia. Critics compare Slovakia’s direction under Fico to Hungary’s Viktor Orban, with the government facing European Commission scrutiny for weakening laws and asserting national sovereignty over EU regulations.
