Even on Tuesday, the members of the National Council (NR) of the Slovak Republic failed to open an extraordinary meeting to recall the Minister of the Environment Tomáš Taraba (SNS nominee). They did not have a quorum even on the second attempt. Only 57 of them presented themselves as present. The motion to dismiss the head of the environmental department should be included in the agenda of the next regular meeting, which will begin on September 15.
- The members of the National Council failed to open an extraordinary meeting for Tarabo.
- On the second attempt, only fifty-seven deputies were present without a quorum.
- The proposal to dismiss the Minister of the Environment will be discussed at the meeting on September 15.
- Progressive Slovakia accuses Tomáš Taraba of failing to manage the environmental department.
- The opposition links Tarabo’s tenure with the threat of losing money from the recovery plan.
The opposition party PS initiated the dismissal of the minister. He claims that Taraba is failing in the management of the resort. She blames him for “reprimanding” experts and stopping several projects. He talks about his failures in dealing with waste management and critical infrastructure, as well as in the preparation of national park zoning.
At the same time, he draws attention to the threat of non-payment of money from the recovery plan. According to the opposition, Taraba cannot even handle the situation with bears. They also blamed him for not taking the drought crisis seriously. According to them, serious doubts are also raised by the way the department’s management handles public finances.
