Prime Minister Robert Fico is responsible for the Ministry of Environment until a new minister is appointed. Viliam Karas stated this on Sunday in connection with the situation at the head of the environment ministry. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Andrej Danko also criticized the conditions that, in his view, prevailed at the ministry during the tenure of Tomáš Taraba, now a non-affiliated MP. He stated that Prime Minister Robert Fico is appalled by the situation. In this context, Danko reacted ironically to possible support for Taraba from Romana Tabák and another person whom he referred to as Versace. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The discussion also touched on the president's powers in assessing the government's nominees. Danko stated that the president has the authority and the right to request information about candidates for ministerial posts. At the same time, he said he has no political leverage over the president. Aktuality.sk - Domáce ↗
Opposition politician Richard Gröhling disagreed with this position. He described the president's vetting of the nominee as shocking, responding to Danko's criticism of the president's powers.
The environment ministry thus temporarily remains under the prime minister's responsibility, until the government and the president resolve the question of its future leadership. No further details have yet been given about the new minister or the timing of the appointment.
Fico temporarily takes over responsibility for the environment ministry, Karas says
