Slovakia's Ruling Coalition Faces Accusations of Criminal Law Manipulation

Slovakia's Ruling Coalition Accused of Manipulating Criminal Laws The accusations leveled by Gábor Grendel, a Member of Parliament, against Slovakia's ruling coalition are causing a stir. Grendel claims the coalition has been altering criminal laws to serve its own interests, citing the release of Dušan Kováčik from prison as a key example. Kováčik, convicted of serious crimes, was unexpectedly released, leading to suspicions of political influence. "This government is changing the law to protect its corrupt members," Grendel stated during a recent press conference. The abolishment of the Special Prosecutor's Office further fuels these accusations, as it has hampered investigations into high-level corruption within the government. The opposition is demanding a thorough investigation into these allegations. The incident highlights concerns about the rule of law and the integrity of the Slovakian justice system.
