Opposition Party Calls on Judicial Council to Condemn Government Attacks on Judges

The opposition Freedom and Solidarity party (SaS) has called on the Judicial Council to condemn what it describes as attacks by the government on judges. The party specifically referenced the case of judge Michal Kubiš as an example of such attacks. The Judicial Council is Slovakia's constitutional body responsible for judicial administration and protecting judicial independence. SaS, a liberal party that was part of the previous center-right government but is now in opposition, argues that the current ruling coalition is undermining judicial independence through its actions against individual judges.
