Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has publicly identified non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as a major problem facing the country. This criticism comes as the Ministry of Defence faces scrutiny over substantial spending and a lack of transparency regarding contracts. Reports suggest millions of euros are being spent without clear accountability. The phrasing used by Fico echoes language often associated with conspiracy theories, raising concerns about his rhetoric. Critics allege a deliberate attempt to discredit NGOs. The situation highlights a growing tension between the government and civil society organizations, alongside questions about financial oversight within the defense sector. Further investigation is expected into the Ministry of Defence’s expenditures.
