Slovak court orders reinstatement of police officer Svítok; ministry defies ruling

A Slovak court ruled that the Interior Ministry illegally reassigned former high-ranking police officer Juraj Svítok, ordering his reinstatement. Upon reporting for work, Svítok found his former position unavailable, indicating ministry non-compliance. The move by Interior Minister Branislav Zurian has sparked public anger, raising concerns about rule of law and political interference in police appointments.
