NBS Employee Contradicts Defense in Party Scandal Linked to Central Bank Official's Partner

An employee of the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS), the country's central bank, has contradicted the official explanation offered in defense of a private party held on NBS premises. The case centers on a gathering connected to the partner of a senior NBS official, with the employee's account undermining claims that such use of the bank's facilities was routine or accessible to all staff. The National Bank of Slovakia itself has declined to comment on the matter, leaving questions unanswered about whether proper procedures were followed in granting access to the building for a private event. The case raises concerns about the use of public institutions' resources for personal purposes, and about transparency within one of Slovakia's most important financial institutions.
