Malá Fatra National Park will not be abolished. The park administration responded to proposals by State Secretary Filip Kuffa, stating that its abolition is not on the agenda. The topic was reopened despite the government having approved a new national park, including its zoning, over the summer. aktuality.sk ↗
Filip Kuffa is pushing for the area to become a nature park. He claims that he has the support of Pavel Žídek, director of the Malá Fatra National Park Administration, for this plan. However, the available statements indicate that the park administration is now assuring the public that the national park will be preserved. zilinak.sk ↗
The administration's response came after pressure from experts. Scientists from the park council had previously publicly called on director Pavel Žídek to abandon efforts aimed at abolishing the national park. Their stance increased attention on the future status of the protected area.
The current situation thus represents a clash between the government's approved decision to establish Malá Fatra National Park and the political effort to change its legal status to a nature park. The park administration now declares that the national park will remain in place. Further developments will depend on whether Filip Kuffa wins broader support for his proposal and whether the competent authorities respond to it.
Malá Fatra will not be abolished, but Kuffa keeps pushing for a nature park
