Prime Minister Robert Fico announced after a government session in Nitra that the cabinet should return to the idea of building Tichý Potok water reservoir in eastern Slovakia. He wants to present the project to a new water and drought commission as one of the first agenda items. STVR (Minute by Minute) ↗
The topic comes at a time when the government is preparing aid for farmers affected by drought in the amount of tens of millions of euros. The cabinet is also facing criticism for its stance on new genome breeding techniques in the European Union, which are intended to help develop more resilient crops. The opposition and Greenpeace accuse the government of focusing mainly on compensating the consequences of drought rather than finding long-term solutions. dennikn.sk ↗
Criticism also came from Veronika Remišová, who argues that Agriculture Minister Richard Takáč is not helping farmers quickly enough. She claims that the state should not make excuses about lack of money for irrigation repairs, but should instead announce prepared EU fund calls and present a specific plan for the renovation of irrigation systems. domov.sme.sk ↗
Further developments are expected to focus on the decisions of the new commission and whether the government will present an exact schedule of anti-drought measures. The question also remains open as to how the cabinet will combine immediate aid to farmers with long-term adaptation of the country to water scarcity. novinky.cz ↗
