Slovak Interior Minister's Mobile Roadshow Costs 744,000 Euros, Features Cannabis Scent

Slovakia's Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok has commissioned a mobile roadshow using a container that will cost taxpayers 744,000 euros and is designed to emit a subtle marijuana scent. The roadshow's most expensive component is catering, with snacks including popcorn, waffles, and coffee totaling nearly 130,000 euros. Šutaj Eštok leads the Voice-Social Democracy party, which is part of Slovakia's ruling coalition government formed after the 2023 parliamentary elections. The Interior Ministry oversees domestic security, police operations, and drug policy enforcement in Slovakia, making the cannabis-scented promotional campaign particularly notable given the ministry's role in narcotics control.
