Share:
The Slovak National Party (SNS) announced Tuesday it would distance itself from a controversial Tatra Mountains zoning proposal prepared by Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba and offered to replace him as their nominee for the position. The SNS, a nationalist party that is part of Slovakia's ruling coalition, made the announcement amid growing criticism of Taraba's environmental policies. The Tatra Mountains zoning proposal has sparked significant debate over environmental protection measures in Slovakia's most important national park area, which contains the country's highest peaks and is a major tourist destination.
