Journalists point out that the protests against Fico took place on the anniversary of the 1989 “velvet revolution”.
Large-scale protests have spread to dozens of towns and villages in Slovakia.
For example, on Freedom Square in the capital Bratislava, people chanted: “Enough of us, Fico,” “We want change,” and “Resign.”
Journalists even noticed that one of the posters in the crowd had the words of the late Czechoslovakian and Czech President Vaclav Havel written on it: “Truth and love must defeat lies and hatred.”
The people of Slovakia were also outraged by the fact that his team canceled a national holiday dedicated to the “Velvet Revolution”, cynically explaining this as part of austerity measures.
