Progressive Slovakia to File Complaint with European Commission Over Hidden Political Appointee Salaries

Progressive Slovakia, the main opposition party, will file a complaint with the European Commission regarding the Slovak government's practice of concealing salaries paid to political appointees. The party argues that the government is misusing a well-intentioned exemption that allows certain compensation information to remain classified. The move represents an escalation in the ongoing dispute over transparency in government spending, as opposition parties have repeatedly criticized the ruling coalition for lack of disclosure about how much taxpayer money goes to political nominees in state-controlled companies and institutions.
