Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico accused opposition of attempting to organize a coup
00:07
amid escalating demonstrations against his supposed pro-Moscow stance.
00:13
During his address to the Slovakian Parliament, Fico also rejected claims about the country's
00:18
alleged change of foreign policy orientation and reaffirmed membership of both the European
00:24
Union and NATO.
00:27
We see a structure that wants to misuse these meetings, especially possible meetings with
00:36
the security forces of the state, to escalate the tension even more, to become even more
00:45
aggressive.
00:46
Fico's comments come as protests continue to erupt in Slovakia over his ties to Russia.
00:52
These protests started last December after he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin
00:57
in Moscow.
00:58
Fico has also faced accusations by the country's largest opposition party of trying to take
01:03
the country out of the EU, earlier this week surviving an attempt at a no-confidence vote.
