Slovak Justice Minister Seeks to Repeal Whistleblower Protection Office Law Through Parliamentary Amendment

Slovak Justice Minister Boris Puci announced plans to repeal the law establishing the Office for the Protection of Whistleblowers through a parliamentary amendment, stating this approach would be the most time-efficient method. Puci expressed hope that this would be one of the last such amendments during the current electoral term. The Office for the Protection of Whistleblowers was created to handle reports of misconduct and provide protection for individuals reporting wrongdoing in public and private sectors. The minister's move to eliminate this institution through an amendment rather than standalone legislation reflects ongoing political tensions over whistleblower protections in Slovakia.
