Slovak Public Broadcasting Dismisses Senior Executive in Management Restructuring

Boris Koreň, a senior executive at Slovakia's public broadcaster STVR, has been dismissed from his position, with the organization stating it has "no work for him." Koreň was among the co-authors of a statement opposing the transformation of RTVS, the predecessor to the current public broadcasting service. The executive believes his dismissal is part of a broader strategy to remove potential opposition voices from the institution before it becomes increasingly aligned with government propaganda. Koreň suggests the move represents a preventive measure to eliminate individuals capable of organizing protests or channeling dissatisfaction within the broadcaster as its editorial independence potentially deteriorates under the current administration.
