Slovakia’s interior ministry denies claims about police housing in Bratislava
The ministry says police are being moved to a modern THORIN facility on Nejedlého Street.
Slovak Interior Ministry issued a rebuttal to claims by former interior minister alleging that police were being removed from a Bratislava accommodation “without a reason” so it could be sold.
The dispute centres on the Bulharská Street accommodation. The ministry says it has been moving officers and policewomen from Bulharská to a modern facility called THORIN on Nejedlého Street.
According to the ministry, THORIN is already housing police personnel from Pezinok, whose original accommodation is undergoing reconstruction. The ministry also said it is preparing reconstruction of additional accommodation facilities, including Bulharská, while trying to find funding or another way to manage the property effectively.
The ministry framed the accusations as misleading and rejected the idea that officers are being pushed into a homeless-like situation after duty.
