The Slovakian government’s role in media freedom and digital safety is under scrutiny following a recent assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Critics argue that the government’s hostile rhetoric towards independent media, which has included accusations of inciting violence, has escalated risks for journalists.
This situation highlights the need for the government to take digital and legislative actions to safeguard press freedom and reduce tensions. Recent government-backed legislation aims to restructure public broadcasting and introduce stricter regulations, raising concerns about further restrictions on media freedom and digital accountability.
