In all fairness, the Slovakia probably backed out because it's just a few weeks before parliamentary elections and politicians need to earn good points. There were anti-acta protest and petitions, yes, but not so strong as in Poland for example. The protests were also in the shadow of anti-corruption protests taking place in similar times (as was already mentioned in comments).
