Police Chiefs Under Interior Minister Enter Campaign for Regional Governor Race
Share:
Police chiefs serving under Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok have entered the campaign trail to support a Hlas party candidate for regional governor. The officials defended their involvement as private activity. Hlas is the ruling centrist party that forms part of Slovakia's governing coalition alongside the social-democratic Smer-SD and the nationalist SNS. The development raises questions about the political neutrality of police leadership, as senior law enforcement officials are expected to maintain impartiality in electoral processes.
