Culture Ministry advocates changes in institutions management

Culture Minister Martina Simkovicova (an SNS nominee) and the Ministry’s Chief-of-Staff Lukas Machala stand behind their action concerning the dismissal of directors of cultural institutions. At the press conference held on Thursday, they informed that in line with the law they are eligible to replace managements of institutions under the umbrella of the Culture Ministry even without giving a reason. With the same reasoning, Prime Minister Robert Fico expressed his support to Culture Minister on Friday.

The Culture Ministry will now carry out audits in both institutions. 

Simkovicova dismissed SND director Matej Drlicka on Tuesday (August 6) and SNG director Alexandra Kusa on Wednesday (August 7), blaming them for their managerial failures. Both dismissed directors deny accusations of professional misconduct.
