Progressive Slovakia is facing fresh criticism in Slovakia over transparency and the use of party funds. The topic emerged in connection with the case of Ivan Korčok and followed on from the earlier case involving the movement's sponsor, Martin Pekár. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
Transparency is one of the main political themes on which Progressive Slovakia builds its communication. According to published information, however, after the Pekár case the movement is facing a new wave of questions, this time over a case linked to Korčok. The articles provided do not give details, but the common thread is a dispute over rules that the movement itself is supposed to emphasize.
Former Justice Minister Viliam Karas also joined the discussion. On the program V politike, he criticized both the coalition party Smer-SD and the opposition Progressive Slovakia for their dispute over the use of party funds. According to him, both parties are engaging in childish and infantile politics instead of solving Slovakia's problems. SITA ↗
Political scientist Tomáš Koziak also pointed out that Progressive Slovakia could face problems in the autumn's combined municipal and regional elections. He named Smer-SD, Hlas-SD and KDH as the best-prepared parties. For PS, then, the criticism over transparency comes at a time when political parties are preparing for an important electoral test in the regions. SITA ↗
