New EU Funds Scandal Emerges as Political Standards Deteriorate
Share:
A new large-scale misuse of European Union funds is being launched, according to Slovak media reports. The development comes as political discourse in Slovakia continues to deteriorate, with lies becoming increasingly common and undermining basic standards of decency in public life. Slovakia receives billions of euros in EU structural and cohesion funds, which are meant to support economic development and infrastructure projects but have been repeatedly subject to corruption scandals involving political figures and connected businesses.
