PolandA referendum held in Slovakia on Saturday regarding reforms and privileges for Prime Minister Robert Fico was deemed invalid due to extremely low voter turnout of just 16.13%. Despite significant opposition to Fico's policies, including proposals for lifetime pensions for politicians and the restoration of anti-corruption agencies, the government retained its decisions. The vote had to achieve over 50% participation to be valid, a threshold met only once before in 2003. Over 93% of those who voted supported abolishing the lifetime pension for certain politicians, while 92% backed restoring elite anti-corruption units. The referendum was initiated by the non-parliamentary party 'Demokraci,' but their request for a question on early elections was rejected by President Peter Pellegrini, citing constitutional concerns.
