Kažimír ends the first period in June this year and could hold it again. It is not yet known who the government will nominate for the post of governor of the central bank.
The Prime Minister recalled the situation a few years ago, when part of the deputies left the opposition direction and founded a new party. « I think that Peter Kažimír played a very important role when deputies left the Direction at that time. The government's proposal for the post of Governor of the NBS must be approved by Parliament and is finally appointed by the President.

The promise of Devín wants to keep
« I think that only a comprehensive package can pass, he has a better chance of success than adding to it the election system or the Judicial Council, » Fico said on the marginal whether there are negotiations on support for the constitutional changes he submitted to the government a few days ago.
The government cabinet approved his proposal of changes in the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. The approved material emphasizes the sovereignty of Slovakia in the Constitution of Slovakia on basic cultural and ethical issues, for example in the case of protection of life and human dignity, private and family life, but also marriage, parenthood and family, as well as culture and language, as well as related things, especially in the field of health, education and education.
The amendment introduces only two sexes, a man and a woman. At the same time, it guarantees equality between men and women in remuneration for the work done. If the amendment to the Constitution went through a legislative process, only the spouses or one of the spouses who live with one of the parents of the child in marriage could adopt a new child.
The survivor's spouse will also be able to acquire a child for a parent or adopter of a minor. In exceptional cases, the child will also be able to adopt a lone person, if the adoption is in the interests of the child.
A paragraph could also be added to the Constitution, according to which « parents have the right to decide on the participation of children in the educational process provided by schools and school facilities if it is beyond the state educational program ».
At the same time, the legal representative's consent will be necessary to raise and education in the field of formation of intimate life and sexual behavior.

He also commented on the statements of the Minister of Labor Erik Tomáš (Voice) who said that the coalition could find support for some deputies for the Movement of Slovakia, namely from the Christian Union (it is Anna Záborská and Richard Vašečka).
« Igor Matovic is not a Christian Union, » Fico stressed in answering the question of whether he is planning to talk to the leader of ordinary people.
« I think there are people who often come to these topics, whether it is Mrs Záborská or Mr Vašečka, » he added. He added that it is not a race, but a result.
« I want us to anchor the dam against liberalism and progressiveism as I promised to Devin in July 2024, » the Prime Minister accentuated.
