Slovakia is the eurozone's second poorest nation.
And...citizens there are outraged that they must guarantee the debt of richer spendthrift nations like Greece, Italy and Portugal...with an expanded bail-out fund.
They are being asked to pony-up $10bn in debt...for the $590bn stability fund.
ALSO: The Slovak ruling party/the SaS...has reportedly refused to accept a bailout overhaul because the PM Radicova refused to accept its conditions...meaning the EU plan could sink...because its needs ALL 17 nations to approve it.
