An unknown perpetrator vandalized the official car belonging to Zuzana Petková, director of the Stop Corruption Foundation, a Slovak anti-corruption watchdog organization. Petková reported receiving aggressive threatening emails and described the current level of aggression as reminiscent of the 1990s, a period marked by violence against journalists and activists in Slovakia. The incident highlights the dangers faced by anti-corruption advocates in the country, where civil society organizations and journalists investigating corruption have historically been targets of intimidation and violence.
