Agriculture Minister Ján Mičovský (OĽaNO) announced during a press briefing that he will resign. He wants to officially step down on May 31.
His decision is linked to the appointment of the former chair of the Slovak Land Fund Gabriela Bartošová, who is currently in custody.
He considers the appointment of the chair of the Slovak Land Fund (SPF) to be his failure, which is why he is resigning.
“I, as a forester, have never wanted to enter politics, but I believed in Igor Matovič and his anti-corruption movement,” Mičovský said at the press briefing, as quoted by the SITA newswire.
