Anti-corruption foundation questions Slovak culture minister's ability to repay loan from state grants

The Stop Corruption Foundation has raised concerns about Culture Minister Marta Šimečková's ability to repay a 5,000-euro loan, arguing that state grant funds cannot legally be used for debt repayment. The foundation contends that government grants are tied to specific purposes and that paying off personal debts does not fall within these permitted uses. The issue highlights potential complications around the minister's financial obligations and the strict regulations governing how state funding can be utilized by public officials.
