The appointment of Samuel Miga as the new regional investment and development minister was the result of an agreement between three parties of the government’s coalition led by Prime Minister Robert Fico.
The Slovak President inaugurated a new regional investment and development minister, completing a remodeling that the Government’s parliamentary majority maintains.
The appointment of Samuel Migás was the result of an agreement between three parties in the government’s coalition to increase the power of Prime Minister Robert Fico.
In accordance with the agreement, the two youngest partners of the coalition, the HLAS (Voice) and the National Slovak, Ultranationalist and Pro -Rusian party, gave way to the control of a ministry.
With the inclusion of the Ministries of Investments, Development and Regional Information, Tourism and Sports, the SMR now controls nine ministries, Hlas Six and the National Party Slovaco Two.
The agreement was held to resolve a recent coalition crisis that endangered the mostly parliamentary.
The coalition had 79 seats in the Parliament of 150 seats, known as the National Council, before four HLAS deputies, including Migás and three others, of the Slovak National Party, if they have separated from their parliamentary factions.
The deputies did not join the opposition, but demanded positions in the government, the Parliament and the state institutions in exchange for their loyalty.
This made it difficult to advance in the government agenda.
Another HLAS rebel, Radomír Šalitroš, will become the Secretary of State in the Ministry led by Migás.
Pellegrini had already sworn in Rudolf Huliak, one of the rebels of the Slovak National Party, as Minister of Tourism and Sports.
Richard Ráši, the predecessor of Migás in the Ministry, resigned and must be elected president of Parliament. This position has been vacant since the previous president, Pellegrini, won last year’s presidential elections.
Robert I AM is a controversial figure in Slovak politics, and many people in the country oppose what they consider their pro-ruse position.
When he came to power in 2023, he cut financial and military aid to Ukraine and said he would avoid the country’s adhesion to NATO.
These measures proved to be very unpopular for many selovical citizens and caused a wave of protests throughout the country.
