Part 1/8:
Unrest in Slovakia: A Nation at a Crossroads
Slovakia, a landlocked country with a population of about 5.4 million, finds itself at a critical juncture in its political history. Amid weeks of unrest in the capital, Bratislava, large-scale protests have erupted, fueled by accusations against Prime Minister Robert Fico for undermining democracy and steering the country towards Moscow. Once part of the communist bloc in Czechoslovakia and a member of NATO and the EU since the early 2000s, Slovakia's political landscape is being increasingly shaped by Russian influence, raising concerns among its citizens and political opponents alike.
