Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) is set to propose dismissing Progressive Slovakia (PS) leader Michal Simecka from his position as House vice-chair to the coalition, reproaching him for convening anti-government protests and inciting the public.
At the same time, Fico criticized Simecka in connection with the use of subsidies from the Slovak Arts Council (FPU) by the Milan Simecka Foundation, named after the PS leader's late grandfather, which was pointed out by Culture Minister Martina Simkovicova.
The foundation, however, strongly rejected such allegations with its head Veronika Fishbone-Vlckova noting that there is no conflict of interest, as fabricated by ministry officials.
