Cross-ministerial group prepares legislation on youth radicalization

A cross-ministerial working group is developing new legislation to address the radicalization of young people in Slovakia. Education Minister Tomáš Drucker from Hlas-SD, a junior partner in the ruling coalition, highlighted insufficient cooperation between various components of the system as a key challenge. The minister's comments suggest the government is seeking to strengthen coordination between different institutions - likely including education, security, and social services - to better prevent and respond to youth radicalization. The legislative initiative reflects growing concerns about extremist influences on young people and the need for a more integrated approach to addressing the issue.
