Anti-government protest in Kosice

KOSICE, SLOVAKIA - FEBRUARY 29: People gather to stage protest to raise their voice against Robert Fico Slovak prime minister's re-elected government, in Kosice, Slovakia on February 29, 2024. More than six years after the murder of Slovak journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kusnirova, a nationwide event organized by the civic association Decent Slovakia recently brought the public together. This gathering served as a source of encouragement amidst ongoing anti-government protests, which have been fueled by dissatisfaction with the policies of government. The government's recent proposals to abolish the Office of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office, amend the law on corruption protectors, and reduce penalties for corruption have intensified public calls for democratic reforms.
