Recordings from the cottage resonate beyond the borders: The strong attitude of the European Parliament – Topky.sk

The hearing was proposed by Slovak MEP Vladimír Bilčík (TOTAL). “We will ask about leaks from the investigation, but also about disciplinary proceedings in the Slovak Bar Association, as the lawyers on the published recordings not only behave inappropriately, but also raise serious questions about the legality of their proceedings,” stated.

MEPs will invite representatives of the Special Prosecutor’s Office of the Slovak Republic, the Slovak Bar Association and the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic to be heard. The European Parliament has been monitoring the situation regarding the rule of law and justice in Slovakia for a long time. The DRFMG permanent monitoring group was set up after the murders of journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová to monitor the rule of law, justice and the free media. The monitoring mission last visited Slovakia in September.

Videos and their transcripts were published in several media this week, showing how the head of Smer-SD Robert Fico, the defender of the accused police ex-president of Tibor G. Marek Par, former Minister of the Interior Robert Kaliňák, businessman Miroslav Bödör and son of Tibor G met at the cottage. .
