New allegations have surfaced concerning Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Robert Kaliňák, whose company reportedly received millions from an arms dealer, including during his tenure as a minister. This has ignited questions about potential conflicts of interest and adds to the ongoing scrutiny of government transparency.
Further investigative reports have uncovered irregularities and alleged corruption in public procurement processes, specifically involving CNC machines. Concurrently, a new controversy has arisen with Mayor Matúš Vallo calling for the cancellation of state contracts awarded to the daughters of MP Dušan Muňko without a public tender.
Amidst these developments, political commentators are offering new insights into the dynamics within the ruling coalition, while a recent poll highlights the public's trust in various political figures. The government is also proposing new measures to address 'shrinkflation' in retail.
