Matovic: We are a family to be respected, without them the coalition would not make sense – SME.sk

BRATISLAVA. The We Are Family family needs to be respected, it also wants to keep its election promises. Without them, it would not make sense to continue the coalition.

The leader said this in an interview with TASR OĽANO and the Minister of Finance Igor Matovic (OĽANO). He added that while he was prime minister, We family had “kept his back”.

Leader We are a family Boris Kollár he says reforms are needed, but not those that will hurt people in the regions.

“Without We are a family, the coalition would fall apart very quickly. It is not possible to work with one or two more deputies than the required majority,” Matovič said.

“By going through the reforms, Boris got symbolically ‘after the bullies’ because he showed that we could work without him. On the other hand, it must be admitted that relying on us to work like this for two years is naive and stupid. . “

According to him, the coalition without We Are a Family would last a month or two. “The best recipe for Boris is to respect him,” Matovic said.

Kollár was a good partner, SaS betrayed

Matovic claims that we are a family “kept our backs” in all the evil and difficult things the government had to communicate while he was prime minister. He adds that SaS did the opposite.

“We are family and Boris Kollár has always been a good, responsible coalition partner and has never tried to play each other. The SaS betrayed and made points for criticizing its own government.”

According to him, Kollár could have gained points if he criticized the government’s actions, but he did not do so.

“Maybe it was because I was able to show him respect and understand his attitudes. Maybe he gradually lost that feeling when he saw that the SaS fought against the government, nothing happened to them and they only grew in preferences,” Matovic thinks. that We family may have decided to go their own way.

“I don’t think it’s far from what SaS has been doing here for a year,” added OĽANO.

According to Matovič, it is logical that We are a family also wants to fulfill some of their pre-election promises.

“Instead of arrogant treatment and ridicule, we need to try to find solutions to help them deliver on their election promises.”

Sulík would remain in the coalition in place of Kollár

SaS leader and Minister of Economy Richard Sulík We would probably consider remaining in the coalition, in which we would not want to support fundamental reforms. However, he will not demand it from the movement.

He stated this in an interview with TASR, stating that the coalition finally managed to push through fundamental reforms of national parks and healthcare even without We are a family. However, he is surprised by the lenient attitude of the leader OĽANO Igor Matovič, who talks about the need to respect We are a family.

“I will not comment on Igor Matovič, it does not make sense, I have been doing it for over a year and it is quite good for me. Reforms are approved. However, I am very surprised by this indulgence of Matovič, because when I allowed myself to have a different opinion on something in the past, it was immediately that I ‘am playing with percentages. It must be respected now. Let everyone make their own opinion about it, “Sulík remarked.

He answered the question about the government’s overall low public confidence by not liking it. “It simply came to our notice then. I think that the loss of confidence has at least stabilized since he became prime minister Eduard Heger (OĽANO). I know he’s trying to keep the coalition together. He tries to stick to the deal. But life in a coalition is unimaginably difficult for those who have not yet experienced it, “he said.

Nevertheless, according to Sulík, the coalition still has a lifespan and will last until the end of the election period.

“We got used to each other a bit, everyone adapted to the existing situation. For example, I do not comment on Igor Matovič. The days go by, the robot goes. As for the work at the Ministry of Economy, I can’t complain that it doesn’t work. We do what we have to do, “he concluded.

Kollár supports further reforms

The government’s program statement says the adoption of reforms, but does not state in what form Kollar said in an interview with TASR.

“Reforms need to be done, but so as not to harm people in the regions. Unfortunately, they have not listened to people,” he said on the margin of recently adopted reforms. He had no problem voting for them if things were proposed in them by the regions or unions, which did not happen.

According to him, he supports further reforms without any problems.
