Prime Minister Robert Fico presented a 403 million euro mega-construction project this week, a figure intended as a firm rebuttal to his detractors. The announcement comes as the government prepares for municipal and regional elections, where voters will navigate a new system of color-coded envelopes designed to prevent confusion at the ballot box.
Parliamentary attendance is proving less certain than the building plans. Tomas Taraba has not attended or voted in the chamber once this month, a streak of absence that may eventually cost him his salary. Elsewhere, the assistant to MP Peter Slyško has been charged with attempted subsidy fraud.
A memorial to the murdered investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová opened in Veľká Mača. In the capital, passengers are discovering that cheaper travel has its own costs; train services are reporting chronic overcrowding and delays following the introduction of half-price fares.
