New allegations have emerged concerning financial dealings by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Robert Kaliňák, who is reportedly paying for services for Prime Minister Robert Fico's partner and brother-in-law. This comes as a commentary piece suggests Prime Minister Fico has intentionally withheld crucial information. In other domestic news, a bear and her two cubs, responsible for seriously injuring a man near Turany, have been shot and killed by authorities. Additionally, the controversial 'Night Wolves' motorcycle club is planning a visit to Slovakia, while an ex-minister's son is reportedly using the Bible to justify Russian military actions. On the economic front, Slovakia's industrial production saw a notable year-on-year increase of 5.1% in June, marking a return to growth after several months of decline. Meanwhile, a school in Jelsava is implementing innovative methods to combat student absenteeism, and a village is grappling with division over the installation of seven wind turbines.
