Slovakia risks losing €200 million from the Recovery Plan over the Prešov scandal
The European Parliament is preparing for a key vote that could mean the freezing of billions of euros earmarked for Slovakia. The vote concerns the adoption of the Report on the discharge for the implementation of the European Union's general budget for 2024. Slovakia risks losing funds that are critical for the country's economic development and regional growth. New information now shows a more specific scope of the problem — Progressive Slovakia MEP Oskar Dvořák stated that Slovakia could lose almost €200 million from the Recovery Plan. teraz.sk ↗
The key trigger is the concrete scandal in Prešov linked to healthcare infrastructure. Last May, the government attempted to amend the recovery plan with financing for the hospital in Prešov, which raised numerous questions and suspicions. Based on this incident, the Progressive Slovakia movement has told the government that, following the concrete scandal in Prešov, negotiations are needed to save the money from the Recovery Plan. The opposition criticizes the situation as a disgrace and a significant indictment of the Smer government, pointing out that it is the consequence of political decisions that endanger Slovakia's economic interests. pravda.sk ↗
However, not all MEPs support freezing the EU funds. MEP Miriam Lexmann of the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) has decided to vote against freezing the EU funds. Lexmann emphasized that in every vote in the European Parliament, she is guided by what she considers to be the best interest of Slovak citizens. Her stance suggests that there is no unified view among Slovak MEPs in the European Parliament on this matter. SITA ↗
The outcome of the vote could have serious consequences for various sectors of the Slovak economy, including agriculture and regional development. The National Council of the Slovak Republic currently has the opportunity to respond to the decision of the European Commission, which has already sent the audit conclusions to the Agricultural Paying Agency with nine findings. The situation requires urgent negotiations between the government and the structures of the European Commission with the aim of saving the critical funds earmarked for Slovakia. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
