President calls for stronger crisis leadership

Following a meeting with the Prime Minister at the Presidential Palace on Thursday, President Zuzana Caputova called on Eduard Heger to assume responsibility and make progress towards solving the problems that are causing the weak results in the fight against the novel coronavirus pandemic and the chaos in adopting reforms. "We're all witnessing that the coalition can't take virtually any measure without it becoming a subject of an intra-coalition dispute or a threat of coalition disintegration,” stated President. According to her, it is an illusion to think that people can trust the decisions the coalition makes when they are questioned by members of the Government themselves. The President also pointed out that Slovakia has been the worst in the world for the second consecutive week in terms of the number of the infected per capita. At the same time, the state budget still has not been approved and the increase in health professionals' salaries is, according to the head of state, conditioned by further changes. "We're in crisis and we need stronger leadership. When it comes to the fate of Slovakia and the lives of its inhabitants, nothing else can take precedence," added Caputova.
