Slovakia in 2024: Review (webinar)

Popis udalosti/akcie/projektu:

Friends of Slovakia is pleased to invite you to an online discussion with Dr. Roman Hlatky, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of North Texas, on Wednesday, March 26 at noon EST. A founding board member of Friends of Slovakia, Mr. Jan Surotchak will moderate the discussion with Dr. Hlatky who will discuss his research of the developments in Slovakia's public life in 2024.

Summary:

Following the 2024 elections in Slovakia, the government has taken further steps to increase its political influence over independent state institutions, curtail the ability of the opposition to effectively participate in policymaking and legislation, reduce the independence of Slovakia’s cultural institutions, and limit the ability of the civic sector to engage in policymaking while also actively disparaging Slovakia’s nongovernmental organizations. The restructuring of Slovakia’s public television and radio broadcasters gave the government extensive control over the medium, and some government representatives continue to maintain hostile relationships with various private media. The government’s controversial amendment to the Criminal Code severely limited the ability of the judicial system to prosecute corruption and maintain the rule of law effectively, and anti-corruption efforts are likely to see setbacks with the dissolution of a few institutions to fight corruption.
