Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Saturday, January 25, that he has no plans to resign due to mass protests.. He emphasized that the government can be changed only if the elections take place.

Fico said this in an interview with state radio, Bloomberg writes.. Also, the politician, whose resignation is required by Slovaks, argued his position by mentioning the European Union and NATO.

The prime minister said that his government does not plan to put the membership of Slovakia in the European Union or NATO, and that he believes that these protests are organized in order to overthrow his government. The protesters, we recall, want him to leave the post in order to preserve the pro -European orientation of Slovakia.

Fit did not exclude the holding of early elections if the coalition loses the majority, but said that this is not the best solution.

Let us remind you: on January 24, about 100 thousand people protested in Slovakia. Citizens throughout the country demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Robert Fitzo. They chanted “No more Fico”, “Resign”, “Fico to Russia”, holding EU flags.
