Environmental Groups Oppose Slovakia's Energy Efficiency Law, Call for Public Input

Environmental organizations are calling for the withdrawal of Slovakia's proposed energy efficiency law, claiming it would keep the country dependent on fossil fuels. The groups are mobilizing public opposition and urging citizens to submit comments during what they describe as the public's last chance to influence the legislation. The law has sparked what environmental activists characterize as an unclear battle involving billions of euros in potential funding. Slovakia, like other European Union members, is required to implement energy efficiency measures as part of broader climate and energy transition goals, but environmental groups argue the current proposal does not adequately support the shift away from fossil fuel dependency.
