The European Parliament on Wednesday adopted a resolution on the state of the rule of law and suspected misuse of European funds in Slovakia. The document expresses deep concern over what it describes as a deteriorating situation in the areas of democracy, the rule of law, and fundamental rights. Parliament called on the European Commission to make full use of all available tools to address these concerns in order to ensure compliance with the values enshrined in the EU treaties. The resolution also mentions the possible suspension of EU funds for Slovakia should the situation fail to improve. ta3.com ↗
The resolution represents harsh criticism of the Slovak government and its approach to the rule of law and the management of European money. MEPs condemn the misuse of EU funds and express concerns about violations of EU values. The scandal surrounding the possible misuse of European finances in Slovakia has become one of the key issues being monitored by European institutions. STVR (Spravy) ↗
On the domestic political scene, changes continue in the field of education. Minister of Education Tomáš Drucker of Hlas-SD announced that starting next school year, schools will move to a new system for financing teaching assistants. The new system is meant to increase the number and effectiveness of teaching assistants. The total number of positions is to increase by 750, with the expansion also planned for pre-school facilities. A minimum decrease and increase in teaching assistant positions is to be guaranteed. domov.sme.sk ↗
At the same time, the government is working on pro-growth measures to support the economy. The coalition council agreed at its meeting on a first package of such measures with no impact on the state budget. Possible measures include the abolition of the transaction tax, which has been in effect since April of last year and has met with a critical reaction from businesses and non-profit organizations. Although concrete conclusions were expected from the meeting, the process was accompanied by a tense atmosphere. However, the Council for Budget Responsibility warns that despite formal compliance with European rules, the deficit continues to grow and there is a risk of an illusion of stability. SITA ↗
