The Zastavme korupciu foundation handed over nearly 29,000 signatures on Thursday at the Interior Ministry under a petition demanding the resignation of Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok (Hlas-SD). aktuality.sk ↗
Non-governmental organizations are demanding his departure over serious failures in managing the ministry, the destabilization of the Police Force, and a decline in the prosecution of corruption and economic crime. The appeal is addressed directly to the minister who heads the ministry. SITA ↗
One of the reasons cited is also a new case involving the purchase of body cameras. Last year, the Interior Ministry purchased 504 cameras for more than 700,000 euros from the company Soitron without a public tender. Details about the circumstances of the purchase, as well as the ministry's position on the petition, have not yet been provided. teraz.sk ↗
The handover of the signatures represents further public pressure from non-governmental organizations on the leadership of the Interior Ministry. The petition itself does not remove the minister from office, but its organizers expect that the ministry and the government will address it.
Further developments will depend on the response of Matúš Šutaj Eštok and the coalition parties. Attention will also focus on an explanation of the body camera purchase and on an assessment of how the police are functioning and how corruption and economic crimes are being investigated.
