Slovakia’s Judicial Council is facing growing criticism and accusations of losing legitimacy due to perceived political bias. Concerns center on allegations that the council intervenes in the freedom of expression of opposition figures while remaining silent on controversial statements made by those in the governing coalition. Critics argue this selective approach constitutes open political activity favoring the current ruling majority. This perceived double standard undermines the council’s role as an independent body safeguarding the judiciary and upholding the principles of fairness. The situation raises questions about the council's ability to impartially oversee the legal system and maintain public trust. Such actions contribute to a wider debate about political influence on the independence of Slovak institutions, threatening the rule of law.
