Anti-corruption Foundation Leaders Discuss Challenges Amid Rising Corruption in Slovakia

Leaders of the Stop Corruption Foundation, a Slovak anti-corruption watchdog organization, defended their work in a recent interview amid criticism about the persistence of corruption in the country. Martin Suchý and Zuzana Petková from the foundation addressed questions about their organization's effectiveness and methodology in combating corruption. The foundation leaders suggested they face attacks because their work attracts attention from voters across the political spectrum, including supporters of government parties. They also discussed attempts by some government officials to establish informal relationships with their organization and commented on what they described as a lengthy list of corruption cases involving the current government.
