The Constitutional Court has admitted an appeal from police officers involved in the ongoing legal battle with Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok. The case, involving a dispute over 90,000 euros, remains a persistent legal challenge for the administration as it works through the judiciary.
The legislature will meanwhile vote on a new set of restrictions for whistleblowers. The proposal could impact the 'Purgatory' corruption case and others like it, potentially narrowing the legal protections available to those who testify against state officials.
A polling lead for Robert Fico remains intact, though his rivals in Progressive Slovakia are within reach. The Prime Minister may have more pressing concerns than the opposition: Audi’s decision to build a new factory in the United States has led to the decision that models currently produced in Bratislava will now be made in the USA.
