The Hungary Effect: Protests Erupt in Slovakia as Fico Plan to Scrap Mail Voting

Federaţia Rusă

Thousands of people took to the streets in Slovakia and abroad on Tuesday to protest a proposal by populist Prime Minister Robert Fico that would end mail-in voting for citizens living outside the country, a move critics say could significantly reshape participation in future elections. The largest rally was held outside parliament in Bratislava, where demonstrators gathered after events were opened with applause for Hungary’s recent election outcome, which saw Viktor Orban removed from power.
