The government office even provides journalists with a list of names of members of the working group.

Exact list of members

The Prime Minister promised what he had told the journalists and provided them with an exact list of members of the working group who took part in today’s meeting.

The Prime Minister broke the silence: Less than a week after the announcement of the working group, we have the FIRST NAMES here!

The Prime Minister has not met with Kollar since Wednesday

Heger has not communicated with the chairman of the coalition We Are Family Boris Kollár since last Wednesday, when he still agreed to the creation of a working group. “Mr. Boris Kollár responded in the media without informing me. That is why I also uploaded a link where I say that I believe that every coalition partner will support the current idea.” Heger repeated. He can also imagine a combination of a new government without the We Are Family movement with two non-attached deputies, Miroslav Kollár and Tomáš Valášek.

At the same time, Heger confirmed that Daniel Lipšic did not actually attend the meeting of the working group, while an explanation also came from the General Prosecutor’s Office from Maroš Žilinka. “From what I understand, it came to me that the leader decides who he is nominating. He nominated Mrs. Hubert and did not nominate anyone else. But I think there was a misunderstanding because I wanted to have there. rich representation of state institutions, including the prosecutor’s office, “ Heger added in surprise.

Lipsic was to be banned

According to Denník N, the General Prosecutor’s Office was to prohibit Special Prosecutor Daniel Lipšic from participating in inter-ministerial activities outside the prosecutor’s offices, including participation in the aforementioned working group of the Security Council, including the working group to amend section 363. The act was scheduled for an operational meeting this morning.

Shikuta from the Supreme Court will not send a deputy, he has grounded Heger

The President of the Supreme Court, Ján Šikuta, came to the conclusion that the Supreme Court would not send a representative to the working group of the Security Council. He responded to the request of Prime Minister Eduard Heger.

The Supreme Court is said to remain ready to participate in commenting on the draft legislation within the framework of statutory mechanisms, but at the same time sees considerable risks that could be associated with the participation of the Supreme Court nominee in the developing working group “For restoring confidence in the rule of law”. President Ján Šikuta is of the opinion that the creation of the state’s criminal policy is primarily a matter of legislative and executive power, the role of the judiciary is to implement criminal law in specific cases of application practice in accordance with the rules established by the legislator.

In the picture, the President of the Supreme — Ján Šikuta

Ján Šikuta thanks the Prime Minister for the opportunity provided to the Supreme Court to send a nominee to this working group, but after mature consideration and consultation within the court management, he concluded that it would be better if the Supreme Court did not send a representative to the Security Council working group. Of course, the Supreme Court supports professional discussions on topics related to the rule of law, which could contribute to the quality of its functioning, and is still ready to participate in commenting on draft legislation within the framework of statutory mechanisms.

The President of the Judicial Council of the Slovak Republic, Ján Mazák, reminded that the Judicial Council is not a court, does not exercise judicial power and is defined as a constitutional body of judicial legitimacy. “I have decided to take part in the deliberations of this working group. The main reason is that if we want to restore confidence in the rule of law, we cannot in any way undermine the legitimacy of the courts guarded by the Judicial Council. protection of this constitutional value – the legitimacy of courts, judges, “ Mazak explained.

Eight hours of action per day

An expert working group aimed at restoring confidence in the rule of law began operating at the Office of the Government of the Slovak Republic on Monday. Its establishment was approved last week by the State Security Council in response to the situation in the security forces. It is to prepare proposals for changes for the government and parliament to improve the functioning of the courts, police and prosecutor’s office. He has to work eight hours a day.

The Minister of Finance and the head of the OĽaNO movement, Igor Matovič, expects the first results of the working group in a few days. “For the cleansing that Slovakia urgently needs, we need to guarantee first and foremost brave and courageous investigators and prosecutors so that they can go around the neck of the so-called to our people or the rich who have been robbing Slovakia here for years, “ stated before the meeting. He thinks that, for example, the powers of the General and Special Prosecutor’s Offices need to be clearly defined. Section 363 would be repealed or significantly curtailed. We are a family movement that refuses to participate in the group, Matovič wants to make sure that the changes are not directed against someone, but for purification and justice for everyone.

Boundaries need to be defined, Matovič thinks

“I think that if we want to prevent war in the armed forces and the rivalry between the special and the general prosecutor’s office, it would be very good to derail the field from the general prosecutor’s office and to derail the field from the special prosecutor’s office. Simply say that from where as far as the competencies of the general and from where as far as the competencies of the special prosecutor extend, so as not to climb into the cabbage. So that everyone can go after the crime in charge of their specific prosecutor’s office, ” the leader of the Ordinary said that one of the basic steps to achieving justice is to refine the “magic” paragraph 363, which, according to him, all vagabonds currently rely on.

Matovic also stressed that the newly formed Working Group for Restoring Confidence in the Rule of Law will meet for eight hours every single day until the situation is resolved. “I assume that after two or three days we will see that the goal is being set and that the result will really be seen in a few days.” he said, adding that he would do everything in his power to get the We Family family aboard the fight against corruption. “The goal is to agree on change together and to reassure the family that these changes are not directed against someone, but for purification and justice for everyone. It doesn’t matter if I, our minister, or Fico, or anyone else, ends up in court, but that each one has a guaranteed fair trial. “

They start with a police inspection

Matovič added that the subject of the new group’s solution will also be a police inspection. “According to all, the lairs of the people who were once installed by Robert Kaliňák and Denisa Sakova to pretend that the police force is not being abused by the Nitra mafia are there. But we all know the reality. ” concluded.

An inspection by the Ministry of the Interior intervenes

Remišová is also pushing for changes in the inspection

The leader of the For People party and Deputy Prime Minister Veronika Remišová considers changes in the police inspection, but also in the special and general prosecutor’s offices, to be necessary. “The situation in the police and the prosecutor’s office must change. The suspicions of repeated abuse of the secret service must also be clarified. , prosecutors and police officers, “ announced on the social network.

“The struggle for the purge of Slovakia and the rule of law is extremely important at this time. The fact that the Prosecutor General’s Office banned the presence of Special Prosecutor Daniel Lipšic in interdepartmental activities outside the prosecutor’s office, including participation in the Security Council working group as well as , prosecuting investigators investigating high-level corruption in the police force and, most recently, the accusations of journalists are part of the struggle. neither the oligarchs, nor the mafia, nor the politicians. Robert Fico and his group are most afraid of such systemic measures, so they make a huge effort to question and block everything that would disrupt the years-built system of “our people.” she added.

Sulík talks about the tangled situation, Kollár shouted that he was against and would not participate

The establishment of the group was also approved by the coalition SaS. Last week, its chairman and Minister of the Economy Richard Sulík described the current situation in the security forces as confusing and tangled.

President We are a family and the head of parliament Boris Kollár announced that the movement will not participate in the working group. He said he would not support the creation of the so-called the second mafia, the suspicions are serious, he said. He called on the coalition to return to the job it had promised voters.

The Security Council decided on the establishment of a working group on Thursday (16 September). Prime Minister Eduard Heger (OĽaNO) summoned her after the Office of the Inspection Service detained four investigators from the National Criminal Agency, but also the interim director of the inspection. They accused them of abusing the powers of a public official, two police officers, at the same time in the criminal case of so-called influencing the veracity of witness statements.
