Slovak PM accuses opposition of planning coup to topple him
- Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused the opposition of planning a coup to remove him from power, stating he will focus on intimidating protest organizers and convincing voters of the threat posed by the opposition.
- In 2023, police in Slovakia used tear gas and water cannons to disperse protests, resulting in over 130 arrests, highlighting the ongoing civic discontent despite Fico's attempts to suppress it.
- Fico's recent meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on January 21 reinforced his belief in pursuing a sovereign Slovak foreign policy, especially after Donald Trump's victory in the USA.
- Commentators criticized Fico's hypocrisy, noting his past role as a protest speaker while he now seeks to silence dissent against his government.
