Ljubljana – Prime Minister Janez Janša has said that he would nominate a new health minister when the MPs for the Pensioners’ Party (DeSUS), which recently left the government coalition, decide whether they will support the government or become opposition MPs. He said they have until Wednesday’s coalition meeting to decide.
Talking at the daily government coronavirus briefing on Friday, Janša denied speculations that members of the cabinet would rotate as health ministers.
These speculations started circulating after he decided earlier this week to hand over the health department to Defence Minister Matej Tonin. The decision came weeks after Janša stepped in as interim health minister following the resignation of Tomaž Gantar in the wake of DeSUS’s decision to leave the coalition.
