Robert Fico's government wants to pass the "Russian law"

The Slovak government of Robert Fico is introducing a Russian-style law into parliament that could easily dissolve critical organizations, and would also be dangerous to those who have so far organised peaceful protests.

The bill was to be discussed on Wednesday.

Robert Fico has begun criticizing NGOs and wants to review their funding. His government has sent millions of euros to NGOs that he is now criticizing, including an organization for which his former political rival Ivan Mikloš worked.
