Coalition dispute over Minister Taraba intensifies, Danko wants his dismissal
The domestic political situation escalated significantly on Monday and Tuesday. The chairman of the Slovak National Party, Andrej Danko, planned to deliver an official proposal to Prime Minister Fico on Tuesday to dismiss the Minister of Environment, Tomáš Taraba, who was nominated by the SNS itself. Danko insists that the proposal is definitive and that amending the coalition agreement is not an option. President Peter Pellegrini met with Prime Minister Fico and the Speaker of the National Council, Richard Raši, on Monday. After the meeting, all three constitutional officials declared that they had not been dealing with any government crisis requiring presidential intervention. aktuality.sk ↗ SITA ↗
For his part, Fico refused to gamble with the majority in parliament and described Taraba as an important member of the government with quality performance. He also rejected speculation about a government reshuffle and emphasized that Finance Minister Ladislav Kamenický is not to leave for the National Bank of Slovakia and must first bring the 2027 budget to parliament. Investment Minister Samuel Migaľ repeatedly stated that the coalition remains cohesive and will last until the elections. While the government faces external criticism from Brussels, the internal coalition conflict over Taraba shows tensions between coalition partners and could complicate the passage of important laws in parliament.
