How to Dismantle a Democracy: is Slovakia's democratic project doomed?

Slovakia is at a turning point. The Prime Minister, Robert Fico, has been signalling a tilt towards a pro-Russian style of governing. However, with widespread peaceful protests across the country, is this plan working? Investigative journalist, Tomáš Madleňák, speaks to Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton about Fico’s Slovakia and why this shift to electoral authoritarianism is so concerning.
