Independent MPs from the extra-parliamentary Voice-SD party introduced in Parliament on Monday an official proposal signed by 39 MPs for the dismissal of Finance Minister Igor Matovic (OLANO). Igor Matovic is politically responsible for the chaos and disintegration of the state as we're witnessing it. The pandemic crisis has revealed entirely the failure of both Matovic's governments and of the entire parliamentary majority, which should supervise the executive power and correct it, instead of serving it thoughtlessly," said Voice chairman Peter Pellegrini, a former Prime Minister for Smer-SD.According to Pellegrini, it is Matovic, not Prime Minister Eduard Heger (OLANO), who is the real head of the current Cabinet and at the same time the "greatest evil in Slovak politics". MPs should discuss the motion on Tuesday evening.
Independent MP Miroslav Kollar, formerly serving for the junior government party For the People and now a member of extra-parliamentary party Together, said on Monday that he would support an opposition motion in Parliament to dismiss Finance Minister Igor Matovic, chairman of the strongest governing party OLANO. According to Miroslav Kollar, it is necessary to remove Matovic before he wreaks havoc in the state budget, taxes and payroll deductions. "We saw the chaos created by Igor Matovic as he led the unsuccessful response to the pandemic. It's our obligation to do everything possible to prevent him causing similar damage to public finances," said Kollar.
Meanwhile the OLANO caucus in Parliament has expressed its full support for their party leader and Finance Minister in one person. According to OLANO's press department, those who presented the proposal against Matovic do not have the moral right to engage in such initiatives.
