欧洲议会成员和欧盟委员会对斯洛伐克的民主倒退提出警告,指出对司法独立、反腐败努力的威胁,以及罗伯特·菲科总理领导的政府保护举报人的做法。 European Parliament members and the EU Commission have raised alarms over democratic backsliding in Slovakia, citing threats to judicial independence, anti-corruption efforts, and whistleblower protections under Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government. 该委员会就举报人保护办公室的改革启动了侵权诉讼,称其违反了欧盟法律,但对机构削弱、媒体自由和政治压力仍然感到关切。 The Commission launched infringement proceedings over reforms to the Whistleblower Protection Office, calling them a breach of EU law, while concerns persist about weakened institutions, media freedom, and political pressure. 尽管宪法法院的裁决保留了该办公室,但布鲁塞尔要求在3月初之前作出答复。 Despite a Constitutional Court ruling preserving the office, Brussels demands a response by early March. 多个政党的欧洲议会议员警告系统性腐败和专制趋势，尽管斯洛伐克及其盟友官员将批评视为政治驱动。 MEPs from several parties warned of systemic corruption and authoritarian trends, though Slovak and allied officials dismissed the criticism as politically driven.
