Appeal of Fund Director to Support Art (FPU) Robert Špoták She is, according to Vice -President of the PS and the Committee of the National Council of the Slovak Republic for Culture and Media Zora Jaurová unlawful and represents a huge step over the red line. According to her, people as the FPU’s dismissed director are heroes who are in favor of institutions, laws and common sense and not their own interests. TASR informed the Media Department of PS.
„If our legal system is unable to cope with officials who arbitrarily act and violate all possible laws and some ethical borders, then we really have a very serious problem”Jaurova said.
She added that she would turn to all available legal instances, because she said huge harm to culture and the legal system are committed. The damage that the nominees of the Ministry of Culture (MK) of the Slovak Republic in the FPU Council has done according to Jaurova will be very difficult to correct. “It is necessary to replace this government as soon as possible so that we can return the institutions and the right to people in Slovakia – in culture and throughout society,” she said.
The FPU Council applied to the appeal of Robert Špoták on Wednesday from the post of director. According to the Council of Špoták, within the set deadline, he did not ensure that the documentation for projects focused on supporting folklore events. It also did not provide the proposals of members of the commissions, thus preventing the decision to decide within the statutory period and published the vote of the members of the Council, which is to be non -public.
Špoták considers his appeal from the head of the FPU to be unauthorized. He claims that the Council has ordered him to act in violation of the Fund Act, according to which expert committees must be involved in the decision -making. He stressed that the change of their position to the advisory body does not mean the possibility of excluding them from the decision -making process. According to him, he or the Fund’s office cannot be delayed for the delay in supporting folklore events, as the commission’s election has blocked the repeated absence of MK nominees at the Council meetings. At the same time, he described the advice as incomplete and decisive in violation of the law.
