Slovak interior minister resigns after journalist slaying
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Slovakian Interior Minister Robert Kalinak has resigned from his post amid the crisis following the slayings of an investigative journalist and his fiancee.
Kalinak's resignation was a key requirement of a junior party in the government to remain in the ruling coalition. It's not yet clear, however, if the move will be enough for the party, known as Most-Hid. Its leadership is meeting later Monday.
Kalinak's move comes after tens of thousands of protesters across Slovakia demanded the resignation of the government and a thorough investigation into the shooting deaths of Jan Kuciak and Martina Kusnirova.
