# The Slovak parliament approved a constitutional amendment to limit the rights of same-sex couples and toughen rules surrounding gender transition. The amendment also sees national law take precedence over European Union law. Since his return to power in 2023, nationalist Prime Minister Robert Fico has often been at odds with the 27-nation bloc. He has faced a series of protests in the EU over his curbing of rights. The parliament approved the amendment with 90 votes in favour and seven votes against it, enough to pass it in the 150-seat parliament.
