Share:
Ján Slota, the former leader of the Slovak National Party (SNS), will appear before an appeals court in early June following his 2024 conditional sentence. Both the defense and prosecutor have filed appeals against the original ruling. The Slovak National Party is a nationalist political party that has been part of various government coalitions throughout Slovakia's post-communist history. Slota led the party for over two decades until 2012 and was known for his controversial nationalist rhetoric. The appeals hearing will review the lower court's decision to impose a suspended sentence on the former political leader.
