Jozef Ráž denies PS claims of misusing postal service for mayoral campaign

Jozef Ráž, a candidate for mayor, has vehemently denied allegations made by the Progressive Slovakia (PS) party concerning the misuse of postal services for his campaign. The PS party claims that Ráž dispatched priority letters that were not adequately labeled as campaign material, thereby potentially misleading recipients or violating electoral regulations.

According to the PS party's accusations, these priority mailings were intended to bolster Ráž's mayoral bid. The lack of clear identification as campaign correspondence is seen by PS as a tactic to circumvent scrutiny or to present campaign messages in a less overtly political manner. The party suggests this practice could be a violation of rules governing political advertising and mailings.

However, Ráž has publicly refuted these claims. He asserts that the mailings in question were handled in accordance with all relevant regulations and that the priority letters were appropriately marked. Ráž's defense suggests that the PS party's allegations are unfounded and possibly politically motivated, aimed at undermining his campaign.
