Intelligence Chief Accuses Former PM Ódor of Spreading False Migrant Information

Pavol Gašpar, head of Slovakia's intelligence service SIS, accused former interim Prime Minister Ľudovít Ódor of lying about migrant data following a parliamentary committee meeting. Gašpar claimed that SIS never provided Ódor with the type of information about migrant transportation that the former premier had publicly presented. The dispute centers on statements Ódor made regarding the handling of migrants during his brief tenure as interim prime minister in 2023, when he led a technocratic government between the fall of Igor Matovič's administration and Robert Fico's return to power. Opposition members unsuccessfully requested to hear testimony from additional officials during the committee session, suggesting ongoing political tensions over the migrant issue and intelligence matters.
