斯洛伐克政府解散了独立举报人办公室,代之以一个受控制的机构,引起人们对腐败和民主的关切。 Slovakia’s government dismantled its independent whistleblower office, replacing it with a controlled body, sparking concerns over corruption and democracy.

斯洛伐克议会批准了一项政府法案,废除2021年设立的独立举报人保护办公室,代之以政府控制下的新机构。 Slovakia’s parliament approved a government bill to dismantle the independent whistleblower protection office established in 2021, replacing it with a new body under government control. 这一举动得到罗伯特·菲科总理联盟的支持,旨在解决关于政治滥用旧制度的指控,但遭到反对派领导人、总检察长、欧洲联盟和人权团体的强烈批评。 The move, backed by Prime Minister Robert Fico’s coalition, aims to address alleged political abuse of the previous system but has drawn strong criticism from opposition leaders, the prosecutor-general, the European Union, and human rights groups. 它们警告变革会破坏反腐败努力,削弱法治,并有民主倒退的风险。 They warn the change undermines anti-corruption efforts, weakens the rule of law, and risks democratic backsliding. 虽然彼得·佩列格里尼总统表达了关切, 并可能否决该法, 但政府有足够的支持来推翻否决。 The law passed via fast-track procedure with minimal debate, and while President Peter Pellegrini has expressed concerns and may veto it, the government holds enough support to override a veto. 举报人办公室说,该决定将严重削弱保护,损害公众信任。 The whistleblower office said the decision would severely weaken protections and erode public trust.
