Slovakia

Slovakia is a Central European country currently facing internal political turmoil. Recent news highlights two key issues: a scandal involving Prime Minister Robert Fico's national security advisor, Miroslav Lajčák, and widespread protests against the government's proposed judicial reforms. Lajčák resigned after the release of documents revealed his communication with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, to avoid political ramifications for Fico's government. Simultaneously, thousands of Slovak citizens have been protesting against the judicial reforms, arguing that they undermine the rule of law. Protesters are urging President Pellegrini, typically an ally of Fico, to veto the changes. These events underscore a period of political instability and public discontent within Slovakia, raising concerns about the future of its governance and judicial independence.
