Slovak Opposition Leader Pekár Rejects Criticism, Alleges Targeted Interference in PS Process

Michal Pekár, a leader within Progresívne Slovensko (PS), Slovakia's main liberal opposition party, has rejected criticism directed at him and accused opponents of deliberately interfering in internal party processes. Pekár stated that during PS's internal campaign he made no promises of financial or material benefits to anyone. The dispute appears to center on allegations related to Pekár's conduct during recent internal party activities, though he maintains his actions were appropriate and suggests the criticism is part of a coordinated effort to undermine party processes.
