Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák reported on the arrival of new Swedish CV90 combat vehicles for the Slovak army. The CV9035 MkIV vehicles will be garaged under specific conditions given their immediate readiness requirement. The combat vehicles will be assigned mainly to the first mechanized brigade, and individual bases are preparing for their receipt.
Regarding the ruling in the Mýtnik case, Kaliňák declared that the court decision shows the state suffered no damage and that the information technology tenders at the Financial Administration were not overpriced. Kaliňák also claims that the system of cooperating witnesses (collaborators) failed. However, Prime Minister Robert Fico, as recently as Wednesday, refused to comment on the conviction of Jozef Brhel in this case and instead attacked Judge Ján Hrubala and prosecutor Daniel Lipšic.
The opposition is warning about the danger of such attacks. KDH Deputy Chairman Viliam Karas warns that attacks by government representatives on judges send a dangerous signal to the whole of society. Kaliňák also commented on the situation regarding oil supplies to Slovakia. He claims that the market for oil products is not under threat and that oil should start flowing into the country in the coming days. He cites possible political interests as the reason for the persisting supply problems.
