🚨 The Slovakian Parliament just approved fast-tracking a bill that could slash key rules to protect whistleblowers. ⬇️ The bill, which will be voted on next week, would dismantle its Office for the Protection of Whistleblowers (WPO) in order to replace it with a new and weaker one.
For years, Slovakia has been a model in Europe for its rules to safeguard those who speak up against corruption. This progress is now in danger of being lost.
