Approximately four thousand citizens of Slovakia participated in a protest against the actions of Prime Minister Robert Fico, which have impacted the country's foreign policy, reports the Slovak publication Aktuality on Friday.
The demonstrators gathered in front of the Slovak government building, opposing the pro-Russian stance of the current administration and chanting "We are not Russia" and "We are not a Russian rag."
The protesters held banners reading "treason," "we are Europe," along with flags of Slovakia and the EU. The European anthem was played, and the event concluded with the Slovak anthem from 1993.
