Monday Fico News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Fico became prime minister for a fourth time last month at the head of a leftist-nationalist coalition after an election in which he attacked liberal policies, Slovakia's Western allies and media that is critical of him and his SMER party. He had resigned five years ago amid massive street protests triggered by the murder of journalist Jan Kuciak, who had investigated political corruption. Fico, 59, has often railed against media, and his actions have concerned groups like Reporters Without Borders (RSF), which says he has attacked journalists, restricted access to information and questioned the independence of public media.
