Kollár about leaving, others about solutions: Rough words of experts! It is an aggressive fight for the voter, he is not interested in the COALITION – Topky.sk

The coalition disputes have still not been resolved. Quite the opposite. Every week, it’s another problem or another emotional statement. It was no different yesterday. The leader of the We Are the Family movement and the Speaker of the Parliament Boris Kollár said that he would not support any of the planned reforms of his coalition partners. Even if it cost him to leave the coalition.

There are more and more disputes in the COALITION: Leaders still disagree! Kollár’s departure is real, there are no pungent remarks


If they want to fire us for it, calm down

The We Are Family movement will not support the reform of hospitals and courts in its current form, even if it means leaving the governing coalition. This was stated on Monday by the chairman of the movement and at the same time the speaker of parliament at a briefing in Vranov nad Topľou after meeting at the local hospital.

“If they want to fire us for it, calmly, I’ll leave.” said Kollár. He pointed to the government’s program statement, which speaks of support for depopulated regions. “I don’t see a worse step to depopulate these regions through the disruption of the courts, through the disruption of hospitals. After all, these are the biggest employers,” reminded.

Even on the reform of the courts in the form as presented by the Ministry of Justice, We are a family does not see real reasons. According to Kollár, in the case of the merger of the district court in Vranov with Humenský, it is not possible to speak of “breaking ties”. According to Kollár, the employees of the Vranov District Court again received an order from Kolíková not to communicate with him.

The Ministry of Health believes that they will eventually agree

The Ministry of Health will intensively communicate and explain the details with coalition partners about the planned hospital reform. She believes that after finding out all the details, we will also agree with her, the ministry said in connection with Kollár’s statement. “The reform from the workshop of the Ministry of Health is also hand in hand with the reform of the outpatient network, which was approved by the Government of the Slovak Republic, and is followed by the reform of emergency health care,” said the resort.

He also added that in a few years’ time, the reform should bring quality and targeted health care to the patient, “ie more lives saved and a reduction in the number of avoidable deaths”. At the same time, it should bring better working conditions to healthcare professionals.

Pin sees a space for agreement with We are a family

The head of the Ministry of Justice, Mária Kolíková, sees room for an agreement with the We Are the Family movement to support the reform of the new court map. She stated this at Monday’s press conference. “I think there’s room for us to agree.” said the minister. She added that until the reform material came from the inter-ministerial comment procedure to the government, it was time “so that we can talk about it in the coalition and with our partner We are a family”.

Kollár also criticized the planned merger of the court in Vranov nad Topľou with Humenný. “I said I could keep it as a workplace. I’m open to talking about it,” she added. She admitted that the original consideration was to connect the court in Vranov with Svidník. “There was a lot of criticism and not political pressure that it was better to connect Bardejov with Svidník,” she noted that in the end the best solution was to combine the Vranov court with the Humensky court. She rejected the connection between the planned connection of court districts and the real estate business with real estate.

Judicial reform

The Minister emphasized that, as part of the proposed reform of the judicial map, it primarily addresses the availability of justice. He argues that people go to court once or twice in a lifetime and that if decisions are faster and fairer, they may be willing to travel longer. She reiterated that the creation of larger court districts should bring greater specialization of judges, and thus pressure on speed and higher quality of decision-making.

The reform of the court map presupposes the reorganization of regional and district courts as well as the establishment of municipal courts in Košice and Bratislava. The number of districts of district courts is to be reduced from 54 to 30. It also envisages the creation of three administrative courts.

Threats of leaving the coalition lose their impact

The threats of the We Are Family movement are perceived by the head of the SaS and the Minister of Economy Richard Sulík as leaving the coalition as something that is very often repeated and loses its impact and effect. He hopes that the President’s reservations We are the family and parliament of Boris Kollár on the court map and the reform of hospitals are not “cheap populism”. “It’s just that with one ear in the bottom and the other out,” Sulík stated at Monday’s press conference on the question of how he perceives Kollár’s threats about leaving the government.

“I don’t know what Boris Kollár’s reasons led to this. I don’t even want to speculate about them, I want to hope that it’s not cheap populism, someone was quick to like it.” he added that he did not catch such statements at the coalition council. “I have caught reservations, I expected to discuss with Minister Maria Kolíková, but I do not hear the fact that I do not support a dot for the first time.” Sulík said on the topic of the court map.

Sulík considers the stratification of hospitals to be important. “In the government, it passed against the voices of ministers. We are a family, I can imagine exactly the same model in the National Council of the Slovak Republic, if they are only against, they will not veto it, we declare it without them, we have enough votes for it.” stated the head of SaS.

We do not consider threats to leave the coalition to be happy

The OĽaNO movement does not consider it happy to threaten to leave the coalition in situations where there is to be a rational and professional debate on the reform measures resulting from the government’s program statement (PVV). “The Minister of Health has made it clear that no hospital will be closed down, so we do not understand why Boris Kollár joined this opposition game. We do not consider it happy to threaten to leave the coalition in situations where there is a rational and professional debate from the government’s program and recovery plan, “ reacted OĽaNO.

The movement considers the ability to discuss with partners and seek common solutions to be a normal principle of coalition cooperation. “As long as everyone sincerely cares that people don’t wait years for judgments, or that they have the best possible health care,” added OĽaNO.

Kollár is not interested in the future of the coalition

According to political scientist Radoslav Štefančík, Boris Kollár is not about the future of the coalition, but only of his political party. “That’s why he chases voters with such cheap populism. Kollár is afraid of a dissatisfied voter, that’s why he and his party will never come up with a reform proposal that would move the country forward.” stated on Margo Kollár’s statement.

Whether Kolíková or Lengvarský will convince Kollár is not yet clear. “Mária Kollíková is about reform, Kollár is about not losing voters. She is not thinking about whether the reform will have a positive effect on the functioning of the Slovak judiciary,” said Štefančík. However, if he still left the coalition, the remaining three coalition parties would not be able to continue in government. “If Miroslav Kollár, the head of the Together party, joined them, the government majority would have a majority in parliament, but this majority would be incredibly fragile. So it would only be a matter of time before the governing coalition disintegrated definitively. Heger also needs We are a family, otherwise they can cut a meter, “ he added.

It’s about fighting for the electorate

According to political scientist Michal Cirner, it is primarily a struggle for the electorate. “And Mr. Kollár is playing this game aggressively because he doesn’t risk much. Really, no one wants to kick out Kollar and his We Are Family movement out of the coalition, because that would almost certainly mean early elections. furthermore, he could play his own political games in parliament to support the government or to support early elections, ” Cirner stated.

“Their blackmail potential would be even greater. Kollár seems to be counting on early elections sooner or later, so he doesn’t feel so attached to his own coalition.” he added on the sidelines of his statement. Will Ministers convince Kollar and his movement? “This is the second issue that Kollár and his movement of media coalition colleagues and their plans are” wiped out “by public statements and again can blackmail the coalition and demand” retaliation “from coalition partners in the form of supporting and realizing the intentions of the We Are Family movement.” he thinks.

The government has a problem even now, not without Kollar. “They have trouble ruling even now, when they have an almost constitutional majority. How hardly they rule by a minority or by a narrow majority with Kollár, Fico, Pellegrini and the Kotlebovci and the excoleboads in opposition is hard to imagine.” added the political scientist.
