State Secretary of the Ministry of the Environment Filip Kuffa announced on 24 September that he is filing a criminal complaint against an unknown perpetrator. He linked his decision to statements by Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba that, according to him, concerned him and his family. teraz.sk ↗
Kuffa also criticized Taraba's remarks and called them serious. According to published information, he also took issue with attacks aimed at him and his loved ones. The criminal complaint is therefore directed against an unknown perpetrator, and it is not clear from the available data whom exactly Kuffa suspects or for what acts he is filing it. domov.sme.sk ↗
The case reflects the ongoing dispute between Kuffa and Taraba at the Ministry of the Environment. Both are associated with the Slovak National Party, which is part of the governing coalition. The public exchange of their statements thus points to persistent tension within both the ministry and the party. Refresher.sk ↗
Kuffa criticized in particular the way Taraba spoke about him and his family. According to available information, the minister responded to his objections with statements that have become the subject of the dispute. Further details of the criminal complaint and the next steps of the law enforcement authorities have not yet been made public. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on whether the police accept the complaint and begin acting on the matter. It is also not yet known whether the dispute will lead to personnel or political changes at the ministry.
