Commission Assesses Zoning Dispute, SNS Demands Annulment of Resolutions
The government approved the zoning of four national parks in early July, specifically the High Tatras National Park, Low Tatras National Park, Poloniny National Park, and Malá Fatra National Park. Kuffa claims that the objection he advocated for also had support in Brussels's position. Articles mentioned the sum of 450 million euros, later also broader risks to recovery plan funds. domov.sme.sk ↗
Minister of Environment Tomáš Taraba, nominated by SNS, rejected Kuffa's claims and labeled them as fabrications. The coalition party SNS subsequently called on Taraba to initiate a government meeting and propose the annulment of the disputed resolutions. According to the party, the minister acted without consulting Kuffa. Annulment or revision of the resolutions is also demanded by opposition parties and environmental organizations, with Progressive Slovakia calling for the publication of the European Commission's position.

Taraba has meanwhile signed a memorandum with Minister of Agriculture Richard Takáč on the transfer of ownership and management of forests in four national parks to the parks' administration. However, critics argue that the memorandum is not a solution and should not replace the revision or annulment of the disputed resolutions. Further developments will depend on the Commission's assessment and whether the government will proceed to change the adopted decisions. teraz.sk ↗
