SaS Lawmaker Hlina Says Slovak Money in Dubai Exposes Corruption Fight Failures

Alojz Hlina, a member of parliament for the liberal opposition party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), criticized Slovakia's anti-corruption efforts, arguing that Slovak money found in Dubai demonstrates the country's failure to combat corruption effectively. Hlina also made pointed comments about political figures, calling Daniel Bombic "a pathetic lackey" while suggesting that former prime minister Igor Matovic has improved his behavior. The SaS party, which is part of Slovakia's opposition, will shift its focus away from campaigning against the EU's planned ban on internal combustion engines following the recent departure of party leader Richard Sulik, according to Hlina.
