Slovak Culture Fund Awards Tens of Thousands of Euros to Disinformation Websites
Share:
The Fund for the Promotion of Arts (FPU), Slovakia's state cultural funding agency, has awarded tens of thousands of euros to disinformation websites through a grant program originally designed for cultural media outlets. The fund bypassed recommendations from its evaluation committees in making these awards. The FPU operates under the Ministry of Culture and is responsible for distributing state funding to support arts and cultural projects across Slovakia. This development raises concerns about the misuse of public cultural funding and the state's role in potentially supporting outlets that spread false information.
