President Peter Pellegrini, upon returning from a working trip to the United States, will discuss the proposal to dismiss Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba. At the same time, he admitted that Prime Minister Robert Fico could temporarily take over leadership of the ministry. Aktuality.sk - Domáce ↗
Pellegrini stated that the name of the new minister is in the hands of the political parties. Taraba is a nominee of the Slovak National Party, which, according to its chairman Andrej Danko, has already selected a candidate to succeed him. It is to be MP Filip Kuffa. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
According to Viliam Karas, the dispute between the SNS and Taraba could lead to the current government losing its majority in parliament. Karas also expects that the president will not be interested in dismissing Taraba. However, Pellegrini confirmed that he will address the dismissal proposal after returning from the United States.

Danko was unable to say whether the prime minister will link the vote on the state budget with a vote of confidence in the government. Such a step could increase political pressure on the coalition partners at a time of dispute over the future leadership of the environment ministry. teraz.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the president's decision on the dismissal proposal and on an agreement among the coalition parties on a new nominee. If a solution is not found immediately, the ministry could be temporarily led by Robert Fico.
