Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accused the opposition of attempting a coup following widespread protests and a no-confidence motion against his government. The unrest stems from public and political opposition to Fico's controversial policies, including changes to the penal code, the dissolution of the special prosecutor's office, and the overhaul of public media. Fico claims these moves are necessary to combat corruption and improve governance, but critics argue they undermine the rule of law and democracy. The opposition, led by figures like Michal Simecka, has mobilized large-scale demonstrations, asserting that Fico's actions threaten Slovakia's democratic institutions. Amidst this political turmoil, Fico has also faced international scrutiny, particularly from the European Union, over concerns about the erosion of judicial independence and media freedom.
