EU Funds Scandal in Slovakia: Millions Spent on Private Road to Luxury Estate

Millions in EU Funds Allegedly Misused in Slovakia: Private Road to Luxury Estate Sparks Outrage The allocation of EU funds in Slovakia is under scrutiny following a video released by Hnutie SLOVENSKO. The video alleges that millions of euros, earmarked for rural development, were instead used to construct a private road leading to a lavish estate. The investigation focuses on the region of South Central Slovakia, near the town of Krupina. The video presents documents suggesting that the funds were channeled through companies with questionable financial records. One politician, Veronika Remišová, is quoted as saying, "The goal of the initiative was to support small local players and improve rural areas. Instead, these funds built a private road to a luxury estate." The video also includes a picture of a meeting between Robert Fico and Norbert Bödör, adding to the controversy. The video highlights the stark contrast between the well-maintained private road and the poor condition of public roads in the area. This raises concerns about equitable distribution of public funds and the accountability of those responsible for managing them. The investigation is ongoing, and a full accounting of the funds is expected.
