Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok (Voice-SD) respects the statements of the President of the Slovak Republic Petr Pellegrini for the so-called. Covid’s amnesties. The Minister of the Interior said at Monday’s press conference that the amnesty had in the government’s policy statement and represent a symbolic dot for the whole “unhappy management” of the pandemic.
“We will see how the President decides, but in this case, I repeat once again, it is a symbolic political dot behind that period that cost Slovakia unnecessary 20,000 deaths and several billion damage,” Šutaj Eštok noted.
According to him, many people were unjustly penalized during the pandemic. He also said that Covid’s amnesties also respond to the Constitutional Court’s decision that human rights have been violated.
The Head of State on Saturday (April 12) criticized the Fines Compensation Act for violating measures during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was approved in parliament last week. He will have a serious problem signing it. He referred to legislation as a dangerous precedent. According to him, it is not right to amnesty to anyone who has violated the prescription and maybe even infected someone.
