The so-called "Lex Attentat" was passed at the end of June in response to the gun attack on the left-wing populist head of government two months ago. There is now a 50-meter perimeter around the seat of government and the presidency, the parliament and all court buildings.

Demonstrations against politicians in front of their homes are also banned. Assemblies can also be banned if they endanger public order. 

Right to personal protection extended
Opposition critics have warned that the law is a step towards a "police state". The package of measures also provides for the leaders of the parties represented in parliament to be granted the right to personal protection, as well as the Attorney General and the President of the Constitutional Court. Heads of government who spend more than ten years in office will be entitled to a lifetime pension. So far, this only applies to Fico himself.
