BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people attended rallies across Slovakia on Thursday against plans by Prime Minister Robert Fico's government to scrap the office that probes high-profile financial crimes, including cases close to the premier.
Chanting "Enough of Fico" and holding signs saying "Hands Off Our Democracy," protesters filled Bratislava's main square. Similar demonstrations took place across the country and were some of the biggest seen since near-weekly rallies began in early December against the government reforms, which include shutting the Special Prosecution Office.
