Protests against Slovakia's Prime Minister continue
Slovakia is at a critical crossroads as massive anti-government protests continue to voice discontent with Prime Minister Robert Fico's turn away from the EU and towards Moscow.

The demonstrations have spread to smaller towns, even in areas where support for Fico's ruling party is strong, and have been described as a "systematic movement aimed at maintaining pressure on the government and keeping public debate alive about the country's direction."
