Opposition Party Files Criminal Complaint Over Radioactive Waste Research Project
Share:
Progressive Slovakia, an opposition party, has filed a criminal complaint regarding a scientific research project on radioactive waste storage funded by the Education Ministry. The project, called X-rock, is led by Samer Khouri, an associate dean at the Technical University of Košice who previously sponsored the ruling Hlas-SD party and President Peter Pellegrini's presidential campaign. Khouri also serves as an adviser to a state secretary. Progressive Slovakia highlighted the connections between the project leadership and Hlas-SD, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest in the allocation of state funding for scientific research.
