President Peter Pellegrini will likely dismiss Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba during the course of next week. He announced this on Tuesday, September 22, during a working trip to the United States. Pellegrini also stated that he will keep his earlier promise and dismiss Taraba from office. tnlive.sk (Markíza) ↗
The president has not yet received an official nomination from Prime Minister Robert Fico for a new environment minister. After Taraba's departure, he will therefore likely temporarily entrust the prime minister with running the ministry. sme.sk ↗
The coalition is negotiating the ministry's further direction. The SNS party wants Filip Kuffa to be appointed to the post after Taraba's dismissal. The nationalists are repeatedly pushing this demand and, according to available information, do not want their nominees to lose control of the ministry without an immediate appointment of a successor.
Robert Fico reportedly tried to dissuade Kuffa from the ministerial post. However, after further negotiations, SNS is sticking to its proposal and is demanding that Kuffa take over the leadership of the ministry. tnlive.sk (Markíza) ↗
A final decision on the new nomination has not yet been made. If the prime minister does not submit the name of the new minister in time, the environment ministry could, after Taraba's dismissal, be led for a certain period by the temporarily entrusted prime minister. A decision on further filling the post will be made in the coming days. ta3.com ↗
