Slovak PM Fico Rejects Coalition Partner's Call to Dismiss Minister Taraba
Share:
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has rejected a demand from coalition partner Andrej Danko to remove Minister Tomáš Taraba from the government. Fico defended Taraba as a capable minister and stated that no government reshuffle is currently planned. Danko, who leads the Slovak National Party (SNS) and serves as parliament speaker, has been pressuring for Taraba's dismissal, but the prime minister has firmly rejected the proposal. The disagreement highlights potential tensions within Slovakia's ruling coalition, which includes Fico's Smer-SD party, Danko's SNS, and the Hlas party. Despite the internal pressure, Fico appears determined to maintain the current government composition and avoid any ministerial changes at this time.
