Coalition and Opposition Trade Blame Over Management of National Cultural Institutions

Slovakia's ruling coalition and opposition parties are exchanging accusations over the management of the Slovak National Gallery (SNG) and Slovak National Museum (SNM). Deputy committee chairwoman Jaurová stated that findings from the reviewed period indicate the current Culture Ministry leadership failed to establish systematic management processes for these key cultural institutions. The dispute reflects broader tensions over the governance of Slovakia's national cultural heritage institutions, which have faced ongoing management challenges and political scrutiny in recent years.
