The current coalition government will continue, Prime Minister Robert Fico announced on Friday afternoon after the Coalition Council meeting. "We have shown the great strength of three leaders today. We know what is important and what is not," stated Fico. The statement was in reaction to the most recent turbulence in the coalition as the chairman of the Slovak National Party (SNS) Andrej Danko had not commented the coalition crisis for a week after the party's nominee, Education Minister Peter Plavčan, was asked to resign from his post. "SNS is interested in remaining in the coalition, but it needs to be a genuine coalition and not slavery," stated Danko before the coalition council meeting.
