US EditionCzech MEP Accuses Slovak Government of Spying on Delegation Investigating EU Funds
- Czech MEP Tomáš Zdechovský accused the Slovak government of spying and intimidating his delegation during a recent EU funds fact-finding mission in Slovakia.
- This allegation arose after Zdechovský and his four-member committee from the European Parliament's Budgetary Control Committee observed suspicious monitoring and faced hostile statements by Slovak officials.
- Senior Slovak politicians, including Prime Minister Robert Fico, condemned the mission and called Zdechovský a 'political assassin,' aiming to discredit the investigation.
- Zdechovský addressed a letter expressing concern over alleged intentional surveillance during an EU funds monitoring mission in Slovakia, urging the European Parliament leadership, including President Roberta Metsola, to take action and consider responses directed at the Slovak government.
- The incident raises concerns over respect for cooperation principles between EU member states and parliamentary oversight, suggesting risks to mission independence and the fight against misuse of EU funds.
