At its online session on Tuesday morning the Government expressed its disapproval of a motion of no-confidence in Economy Minister Richard Sulik (Freedom and Solidarity/SaS) that was filed by a group of opposition MPs. The Government rejects the claim by the initiators of the motion that the minister has failed to present a single rational solution to address the energy price hike. "It should be said that the Economy Ministry presented and managed to assert several measures mitigating end-user energy prices and increasing the transparency of price regulation," wrote the Cabinet in its stance. Also on Tuesday, the Parliament started to deal with Sulik's ouster. The motion was initiated by Smer-SD, which maintains that Sulik is too incompetent to do his job. The opposition party also blames Sulik for what it sees as a debacle in preparing the opening of the Slovak pavilion at the global EXPO in Dubai, which it claims has caused an international embarrassment for Slovakia.
