Together with 28 organisations working on whistleblower protection worldwide, we have sent an open letter to the Slovak government and the parliament to withdraw the bill. Read it here: www.ewi.legal/blog/1wier2o...
27.11.2025 09:45 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Transparency International and TI Slovakia are calling on Slovakian MPs not to support it. Protecting whistleblowers is protecting the rule of law. What is at stake next week is the integrity of Slovakia's democracy.
27.11.2025 09:45 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Our colleagues in Slovakia, along with other civil society groups, are warning that this move is not in the country’s national interest, and would not only erode institutional independence but could also and damage Slovakia's standing within the European Union.
27.11.2025 09:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Whistleblowers play a crucial role in safeguarding the public good by exposing wrongdoing, corruption and malpractice. For example, revealing fraudulent public spending can trigger action to improve oversight, so that public funds are used for services that benefit society.
27.11.2025 09:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Thanks to these efforts, public trust in authorities and institutions has grown, and citizens' willingness to report wrongdoing to the WPO has been steadily increasing. This progress is now in danger of being lost.
27.11.2025 09:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0These proposals contradict the EU Whistleblower Directive, and jeopardise Slovakia's compliance with EU law.
For years, Slovakia has been a model in Europe for its rules to safeguard those who speak up against corruption.
It would also introduce retroactive changes that would undermine legal certainty for 100+ individuals who are already under protection, potentially putting them at risk of retaliation for calling out wrongdoing.

🚨 The Slovakian Parliament just approved fast-tracking a bill that could slash key rules to protect whistleblowers. ⬇️
The bill, which will be voted on next week, would dismantle its Office for the Protection of Whistleblowers (WPO) in order to replace it with a new and weaker one.
Last year, after our intervention, the UN dropped a planned US$30,000 fee for climate-related complaints. This win meant that communities facing the worst of the climate crisis could raise their voices without financial obstacles. #COP30

#COP30 📣 Our analysis shows that most companies at recent COPs fail to back science-based policy, with some even lobbying against it.
Business participation at climate talks needs real oversight to prevent it from turning into an industry trade fair. ⬇️ www.transparency.org/en/news/clim...
🔴 88% of the analysed companies that attended the previous two @UNFCCC COPs have not expressed clear support for the Paris Agreement since 2024.
We need to remind them that COP is not an industry fair, but a serious space for climate talks. Read more: www.transparency.org/en/news/clim...
IMPORTANT ➡️ Nearly 15% of COP29 participants didn’t disclose who they represent, many wore official state badges. This loophole lets polluters shape global climate policy.

Image description: The image shows the viral meme of the Mother Ignoring Kid Drowning In A Pool. It shows a woman lifting up one child in a pool while another child behind her struggles to swim. For this meme, the mom is the COP30, the child lifted are the fossil fuel lobbyists, and the kid drowning is the earth. The text on top says: Conflict of interest makes climate action ineffective. #anticorruptionmemes
#COP30 ➡️ Over the last years, an increasing number of fossil fuel lobbyists have been attending the conference, resulting in weak fossil fuel related decisions.
🚨 Failing to address conflicts of interest and undue influence in climate will put millions of lives at risk.
New report. Digital disclosure of political finance in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Transparency International.
🚨 Our new report shows that most governments don’t publish political finance data online.
That means citizens are left in the dark about where campaign money comes from and how it’s spent.

A new special law in #Serbia is being rushed through Parliament, skipping public debate and corruption checks.
Our colleagues at Transparency Serbia alert that the law would mean rewriting the rules to protect hidden interests.

Image quote: "The peaceful protests by Madagascan citizens, particularly from Generation Z, are the result of several years of corruption that have weakened the country both in terms of human rights and the economy. We have experienced a particularly challenging decade during which freedom of expression was severely restricted and the population struggled to enjoy their basic rights." - Mialisoa Randriamampianina, spokesperson for Transparency International Madagascar.

🔴 Ongoing peaceful protests in Madagascar come after years of corruption that have denied citizens access to basic public services and fundamental freedoms.

Our colleague @BohmerBrice, Climate & Environment Lead at Transparency International, highlights: “As our world heats we’re already seeing extreme weather impacts from floods to super-storms – countries need to be taking action now to adapt and mitigate to help keep communities safe. When vital climate funds are lost to mismanagement and corruption it puts lives at risk. The government of the Philippines must do more to ensure that money intended for climate action is used to protect its people."

People in the Philippines are also extremely vulnerable to the climate crisis, with floods frequently causing fatalities.

We welcome UNFCCC's new registration system reforms ahead of #COP30, promoting greater accountability and transparency for observers. However, its voluntary nature & focus on observers mean full accountability remains a challenge.

From yachts and real estate to crypto accounts, knowing who really owns what is essential to uncovering corruption. While progress has been made in recent years, EU authorities still face major barriers to using this data effectively.
