EU lawmakers express concerns over Slovakia's controversial criminal law reforms, led by Prime Minister Robert Fico's government. The reforms, including the dissolution of the special prosecutor's office, are seen as endangering judicial processes and potentially jeopardizing EU funds. The EU's justice commissioner warns of potential action if the reforms violate EU laws. The opposition to the reforms is led by pro-Western liberal and conservative opposition parties, who fear protecting government allies. President Zuzana Caputova threatens to veto the legislation, but the government may override her move.
