Opposition MP Brandishes Conflicting Documents Over Damaged Hospital Pillars

A dispute over the structural condition of a hospital construction project in Slovakia has intensified after opposition lawmaker Juraj Naď presented two contradictory official documents — one stating 168 pillars were damaged and another claiming no damage at all. Naď, a member of the opposition and former defence minister, published a contract termination notice served to the original construction consortium, drawing attention to what he alleges are serious inconsistencies in how the project has been managed and documented. The hospital project has become a focal point of political controversy in Slovakia, with opposition figures accusing the ruling coalition of mishandling a major public infrastructure investment. The contradictory documentation raises questions about the integrity of oversight over the construction, which is funded with significant public money. The conflicting records could have legal and financial consequences, potentially affecting liability for any structural defects and the terms under which the original contractor was dismissed from the project.
