Opposition Party Files Criminal Complaint Over EU Funds Allocation at Labor Ministry
Share:
Progresívne Slovensko, Slovakia's main liberal opposition party, filed a criminal complaint alleging fraud and corruption in the allocation of European Union funds for social innovations by the Ministry of Labor. The party suspects subsidy fraud and abuse of power in connection with a funding call administered by the ministry. The complaint centers on irregularities in how EU funds designated for social innovation projects were distributed, with Progresívne Slovensko claiming there are grounds to suspect both fraudulent activities and corrupt practices in the allocation process. EU funds represent a significant source of development financing for Slovakia, making proper oversight of their distribution a key political and economic issue.
