🤯 Enrollment

Slovakia is grappling with a chaotic rollout of a new multi-million euro electronic enrollment system for schools, causing widespread stress for parents and educational institutions. Meanwhile, internal political tensions within the ruling coalition have escalated, particularly over wind farm projects, with Andrej Danko, Chairman of the Slovak National Party and Deputy Speaker of the National Council, openly criticizing a government nominee. Further political pressure is mounting on Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok, as commentators are intensifying calls for his resignation. In other significant domestic news, a man sustained severe injuries in a bear attack, and a travel agency has declared bankruptcy. The country is also discussing the unofficial cooperation between police and controversial 'predator hunters,' alongside a historical review of Petržalka's transformation during the socialist era. Robert Fico serves as the Prime Minister, and Peter Pellegrini is the President, with the government formed by a coalition of SMER-SD, HLAS-SD, and the Slovak National Party.
