Slovak Defense Minister's Business Ties to Czech Arms Dealer Raise Questions
Share:
Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák has maintained long-standing ties with Czech arms dealer Strnad, dating back to the first Smer government. The relationship has now evolved into billion-euro defense contracts, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. The connections between the minister and the arms dealer span over a decade, with their business dealings only recently reaching significant financial scale. Critics suggest that in a normal country, such relationships would prompt a minister's resignation.
