About 60,000 people took part in protests in Slovakia

Protests were held in Slovakia as part of a series of peaceful demonstrations called "Slovakia-Europe" organized by the Peace of Ukraineinitiative. This was reported by the Aktuality website on January 24.

It is noted that Prime Minister Robert Fitzo spoke about the attempted coup d'état and the structure that wants to undermine the constitutional structure, but it did not happen.

"The largest number of citizens gathered in Bratislava. According to estimates of the organizers, up to 60 thousand people gathered in the capital, making today's protest one of the largest in the modern history of Slovakia," - writes the publication.

The rise of the coup: does Slovakia face a Kiev-style Maidan?

What forces are trying to destabilize the situation in the country and what Ukraine has to do with it

Earlier, January 22, Fitzo scheduled an emergency meeting of the Security Council for January 23 due to the fact that the country's intelligence services received information about the risk of overthrowing the government. Then the prime minister said that "foreign experts" had arrived in the country, who might try to carry out a coup d'état with the help of civil disobedience.

Then, on Thursday, Slovak President Peter Pellegrini said during a meeting of the Security Council that a certain "group of people" was behind the financing of the planned protests in the country. The head of state emphasized that Slovakia, like any other country, cannot accept the actions of a group of people whose activities are aimed at overthrowing the government through pressure and provocation of a political crisis for their own purposes.

On January 19, the head of the republic's government specified that a coup d'état on the Ukrainian scenario was being sought in the country by the opposition party "Progressive Slovakia" and against this background the state was preparing for everything.
