The Slovak Parliament rejected a significant amendment to the Penal Code proposed by Prime Minister Robert Fico's government, highlighting the weakening of his majority. Only 75 out of 150 deputies supported the amendment, which aimed to restrict the use of testimonies from cooperating witnesses in other cases. Critics argued this could hinder the prosecution of high-ranking officials. Opposition leader Michal Simecka welcomed the vote as a victory for justice and a reason for early elections. Meanwhile, government deputy Tibor Gaspar defended the amendment, claiming it was crucial for citizens. Fico's government faces protests over its ties to Moscow and restrictions on freedoms.
