Michal Bartek, a member of the Hlas party, is being sued by police following statements he made last November. Bartek publicly alleged that a judge presiding over a case involving Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok was selected due to a conflict of interest. He made these claims in a Facebook video, suggesting the judge was chosen specifically to rule on a complaint against him. During a court hearing, the judge stated that a simple apology posted on Facebook from Bartek would suffice to resolve the matter. The lawsuit centers on Bartek’s accusations regarding the impartiality of the judicial process. The case highlights concerns about potential political interference in the judiciary. No further details regarding the original complaint against Bartek were provided in the report.
