Opposition Party Files Criminal Complaint Against Interior Minister Over Furniture Purchase

The liberal opposition party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) has filed a criminal complaint with Slovakia's General Prosecutor's Office against Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok over a three-million-euro furniture purchase for the Kukurica government complex. The party alleges the minister violated procurement laws by failing to publish a detailed list of items included in the purchase. SaS claims the lack of transparency in the procurement process constitutes a serious breach of legal requirements governing public spending. The Kukurica complex serves as a government administrative building, and the furniture purchase has drawn scrutiny from opposition parties who question the procurement procedures and cost involved.
