Prime Minister Robert Fico convened a press conference at which he said that the mother of Progressive Slovakia (PS) chairman Michal Šimečka was to abuse public subsidy resources from 2020 to 2023. Added that he presented on Saturday Only one of many projects that have been fraudulent.
This example concerned the project of the International Event Central European Forum of the Civic Association (OZ) Project Forum, which is as a statutory Mama Chairman of the PS. Fico announced that the Cross inspection found that the above -mentioned OZ had applied for subsidies for three entities. „
For one and the same project, they asked for subsidies of the Fund for Support of Arts (FPU), the Ministry of Culture (MK) of the Slovak Republic and the Ministry of Justice (MS) of the Slovak Republic in the total amount of EUR 130,000, ”said Fico. According to him, Marta Šimečková was supposed to introduce in honest declarations on the adoption of subsidy sources as well as in reporting expenditure, when it was supposed to reimburse duplicate up to triplicate reimbursement of invoices.
“I think it’s a subsidy fraud as a thunder”The Prime Minister said. He added that he would not raise a criminal complaint, although his press conference is in a way by filing a criminal complaint.We will ask for a refund, I will be relevant to the ministries to call on the money to recover the money”He stressed and indicated that most of the received subsidies remained by the income of the OZ’s representatives, as well as through published invoices, he also pointed to a link with the entities behind which the PS representatives are.
The Prime Minister expects to be blamed for attacks on the political opponent’s family, but he has rejected this intention. “I attack that his family behaves fraudulently”He noted.
Eduard Chmelár’s reaction
Even before PS, the former advisor to Prime Minister Eduard Chmelár took the floor on the social network. “This is not how it is done, in the dog matre. Sadly, no one in the Direction has the courage to say Robert Fico that his obsession with the Šimeček family is already embarrassing and that this is not the honest policy, ”wrote at the beginning of his post.
“To hide from the biggest problems, let your colleagues explain the hardest things in finance, health, education and pretend that they are not” premiere topics “, and then convene suddenly on Saturday’s press and focus on a single family case in which neither billions nor millions, but tens of thousands … This is even undignified for the Prime Minister, ” He thinks a well -known political analyst.
He also mentioned a burning topic that is currently moving Slovakia. “When it comes to consolidation solutions, Robert Fico calls such amounts” fart in the tree “. To deal with such things at the highest state level, it is all the worse because Progressive Slovakia is preferentially moving away from Direction and everyone enjoys the diet on the diving Titanic. If Direction’s Cinderstrats think this will help them, they lost contact with reality, ” Chmelár stated.
“Slovak politics is a really positional game for a weak -minded, in which people can be locked to death and distracting them from essential things. Of course, in a situation where the opposition attacks Pellegrini’s sister, it also becomes the standard to attack Šimeček’s mother. But then it looks like this, and the solution to real burning problems is postponed indefinitely. POtom we will just wonder when people stop entertaining it and give their confidence to radicals who (as always in history) will find the abbreviation to hell reliably. I have more and more concerns about Slovakia, ” added at the end of the status.
