Prime Minister Robert Fico will, on Monday, November 9, return to President Peter Pellegrini the mandate to run the Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic. At the same time, he will propose to the president that the ministry be led by a nominee of the coalition SNS. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Fico announced the decision on November 8. He stated that the dispute between SNS chairman Andrej Danko and former Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba would no longer continue at his expense. The prime minister will thus cease to be the person entrusted with leading the environment ministry. teraz.sk ↗
Taraba had previously criticized the way the ministry was being run and identified Fico as responsible for the situation at the ministry, since Fico had been temporarily leading it. In connection with the ministry, disputes also arose over certain directors remaining in their positions, which ended up before the courts. aktuality.sk ↗
The proposal for a new minister comes after a political conflict between Danko and Taraba. Available information suggests that the SNS nominee should take over the leadership of the ministry following the president's decision. The name of the candidate has not yet been disclosed. hnonline.sk ↗
Fico's move is meant to end the period during which the prime minister, in addition to leading the government, also temporarily ran the environment ministry. Further developments will depend on President Pellegrini and on an agreement within the coalition. Nový Čas ↗
