The Council of State has rejected the request for suspension submitted by the policewoman who gave Nazi salute during the intervention of the aviation police against the Slovak Jozef Chovanec.

On October 15, the Minister of the Interior decided to temporarily suspend the agent for a period of four months. According to the officer, this measure prevents her from running for other positions in the federal police. The officer also refers to the shame that would fall to her in carrying out the measure. That is why she went to the Council of State.
During her hearing, the policewoman, who has now been temporarily assigned a new workplace, explained her gesture.
‘It is seen that I am offering a Nazi salute. In fact, the gentleman spoke in Slovak, loud, loud and very fast. MA (a colleague, ed.) who was at the exit of the cell looks at me and sees an expression on my face. She asks me what he is doing. I tell her he expresses himself as … and since I don’t come to Hitler’s name, I’m making the gesture. There was no negative connotation on my part, nor any particular intention. With the stress and the adrenaline I didn’t come up with the name and that gesture is the first thing that came to mind. ‘
But according to the Council of State, the arguments are not of such a nature to quickly reverse the provisional suspension measure.
