Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Slovakia's intelligence chief has accused the country's president, Michal Kovac, and opposition politicians of seeking to subvert the country's constitution. The claims are the latest in a series of events that seem to show the former Soviet-bloc country sliding back into bad habits.
In a report to parliament ostensibly on the activities of his service, the SIS director Ivan Lexa was interrupted by calls for his resignation as he rejected allegations of SIS involvement in last year's kidnapping of the president's son. The opposition has linked the kidnapping to a political feud between the president and the Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar. "Opposition circles and the president are behind attempts to scandalise the SIS," Mr Lexa told parliament.
