People gathered in front of the Presidential Palace on Wednesday evening to protest against the Government, the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the USA, mandatory vaccinations or rising food and energy prices. Representatives of several opposition parties spoke of an early parliamentary election, considering them to be the only possible way out of the current situation. "Slovakia must be ready for a citizens' uprising against the Government," said Smer-SD head Robert Fico, announcing the approaching start of a petition for a referendum on a snap election. It should also include a question concerning US bases in Slovakia and rising prices. Fico claims that Russia doesn't threaten Slovakia in any way.
