The call to the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, Robert Fico (Smer-SD), to remove Miroslav Lajčák from the post of his adviser, is addressed not only by the opposition, but also by the coalition SNS. Published new information about Lajčák’s communication with sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein nationalists consider it scandalous and confirm their belief that the former head of Slovak diplomacy represents a security risk at the Office of the Government (ÚV) of the Slovak Republic.
“If someone used the benefits resulting from his state function and at the same time openly communicated about the political problems of Slovakia in the years 2018-2020, he cannot currently act as an adviser to the government of the Slovak Republic,” its spokeswoman Zuzana Škopcová explained the position of the SNS.
She added that the president of the SNS Andrej Danko insists on his position that he will not step into the government office as long as Lajčák works at the prime minister’s side – either as an advisor or in any other capacity.
The US Department of Justice announced on Friday (January 30) that releases more than three million new pages of files related to the Epstein sex offender case. Several prominent public figures, including the president, appeared in the files published so far The USA of Donald Trump, US ex-president Bill Clinton or former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic Lajčák.
His name also appears in new documents, which mention young girls and the possibility of Fico’s communication with the ultra-right American politician Steve Bannon.
For the 360-tka portal, Lajčák resolutely denied the truth of the published information, not only the alleged collusion. “I did not organize any meeting for the prime minister. Women were never part of our communication. Absolutely never,” he responded. He himself does not understand how his name appeared under the news.
The opposition demanded Lajčák’s “head” already when the communication with Epstein was first published. The Prime Minister did not recall Lajčák, he argued that the investigation of the case did not prove the misconduct of his advisor.
The American financier Epstein committed suicide in 2019 in a prison in New York. According to the investigation he built an illegal network in which he provided underage girls to wealthy people.
