Opposition MEPs Support Call to Suspend EU Funds to Slovakia
Share:
Opposition European Parliament members from Slovakia have backed a call to suspend European Union funding to the country. The move comes amid concerns about the rule of law and democratic standards under the current government. Slovakia has been under scrutiny from EU institutions over judicial reforms and press freedom issues since the coalition government led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD party took power in 2023. The suspension of EU funds would represent a significant escalation in tensions between Brussels and Bratislava, potentially affecting billions of euros in development aid and recovery funds that Slovakia receives from the European Union.
