Le Monde: Robert Fico, the Slovak leader who has made Ukraine his 'enemy'
Robert Fico, the Slovak leader who has made Ukraine his 'enemy'
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accused a small group of individuals, including municipal councillors and a documentary producer, of plotting to overthrow his government with alleged support from Ukrainian intelligence. These accusations follow a significant pro-European protest movement in Slovakia, which has gained momentum since Fico's controversial visit to Moscow.

The protests, organized by the NGO Peace for Ukraine, have drawn nearly 100,000 participants, opposing Fico's rhetoric that favors Eastern influence over Western values. Concerns are rising over potential moves to exit the EU, especially after remarks from a deputy speaker of parliament suggesting Slovakia should consider leaving the EU.

GB News: 'Abhorrent!' Rachel Reeves torn apart over plans to raid tax-free cash Isas: 'Targeting those who work hard'
'Abhorrent!' Rachel Reeves torn apart over plans to raid tax-free cash Isas: 'Targeting those who work hard'
Clare Muldoon criticized Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves for potential plans to reduce or eliminate the £20,000 tax-free allowance on Cash ISAs, calling it "abhorrent." She emphasized the negative impact on pensioners who rely on low-risk investments after a lifetime of hard work and tax contributions.

Muldoon highlighted that many retirees prefer Cash ISAs for their stability and warned that pushing them into riskier investments could be detrimental. She suggested that the government's motive may be financially driven, as major financial institutions lobby for the funds to be redirected into the stock market.
