Opposition Leader Demands Explanation for Alleged Project Evaluation Manipulation, Threatens Prosecutor Complaint
Share:
Opposition politician Veronika Remišová has demanded that Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok explain alleged manipulation in project evaluations at the Recovery Plan Office. Remišová, leader of the liberal For the People party and former deputy prime minister, claims that support funds were improperly handled at the office, which oversees Slovakia's multi-billion euro EU recovery plan funding. She announced plans to file a complaint with prosecutors over the alleged irregularities. The Recovery Plan Office administers European Union funds allocated to Slovakia under the bloc's post-pandemic recovery program, making any potential mishandling of evaluations a significant concern for the country's access to EU financial support.
