Parliament approved the repeal of the law that was supposed to lead to the demise of the Whistleblower Protection Office. The coalition thus backed away from its original plan, and the office will continue to operate. Members of parliament approved the change through a rider attached to the amendment to the Criminal Code. SITA ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
The Whistleblower Protection Office welcomed parliament's decision and views the repeal of the original law as a step that removes legal uncertainty. The institution, which under the original plan was to cease to exist, has been given a second chance and will continue fulfilling its functions within the system. domov.sme.sk ↗ startitup.sk ↗

Members of parliament thus changed their original intention and decided to preserve the structure that ensures the protection of persons reporting unlawful conduct. Parliament also approved further legislative changes, including a penalty for damaging war memorials, which will now be prosecuted as a criminal offense. Novy Cas ↗
