Former Progressive Slovakia Deputy Leader Considers Legal Action After Expulsion

Martin Pekár, former deputy leader of Progressive Slovakia, is considering filing a lawsuit and criminal complaints against the party following his expulsion. Progressive Slovakia removed Pekár from the party due to allegations of suspicious financing and harassment of women. Pekár has denounced his expulsion as a political process and is preparing legal retaliation against the liberal opposition party. Progressive Slovakia is one of Slovakia's main opposition parties, positioning itself as a pro-European liberal alternative to the current government coalition led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD party.
