Gaspar: Car I Crashed Registered to Firm Where I Was Authorised Representative

Bratislava, 31 August (TASR) - Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS) director Pavol Gaspar posted on a social network on Sunday that the car he crashed in on Saturday (30 August) has been registered to a company where he was an authorised representative and partner before holding public office and that he dully declared his stake in this company in his property declaration. Gaspar rejected statements made by the opposition Progressive Slovakia (PS) party earlier on Sunday. He said that he bought the car he was driving more than five years ago for money he earned. "It cost less than, for example, a new Skoda Superb," ​​he noted on a social network. PS, as well as other opposition parties, have called on Gaspar to resign. They claim that the SIS director failed to declare the car he crashed in his property declaration and that he isn't qualified for the post and drives at odds with traffic regulations. Gaspar was involved in a traffic accident, in which two passenger cars collided in Nitra on Saturday. A minor suffered minor injuries in the accident. Both participants in the traffic accident underwent a breathalyser test for alcohol with a negative result. The police are dealing with the accident. ko
