17:36 – COMMENT: “Although Fico pretends that he has ignored the previous protests or that they did not play a big role for him, as long as their strength grows, the government will not be able to ignore them,” writes Peter Bárdy in today’s commentary.
17:30 – GOVERNMENT: Even before the start of the anti-government protests, one of the government’s nominees left office. Peter Olexa resigned from the post of director of the Tatra National Park Administration (TANAP). He did so after media coverage that he poached a protected wolf. He did so outside the hunting season. He kept the wolf’s skull, cleaned it and kept it at home.
In 2014, the Poprad District Court found him guilty of the crime of poaching, which fined Olex 300 euros, confiscating a dissected wolf skull and a weapon. Aktuality.sk has the judgment of this court at their disposal. The judge also imposed an alternative sentence on Olex in the case of intentionally obstructing the execution of a fine, namely a two-month prison sentence.
