Bratislava, July 13 (TASR) - Governing party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) said on Tuesday that the coalition parties at their first meeting after signing the Coalition Agreement will divide up management positions at state enterprises.
SaS, first and foremost, wants a say in the institutions that it needs in order to institute tax credit in line with one of its election campaign pledges, said SaS leader and Parliamentary Chairman Richard Sulik. These are pensions provider Socialna Poistovna (SP), the Tax Office, and the Labour, Social Affairs and the Family Office.
The party also wants posts at organisations that fall under the ministries that it controls, such as national grid operator SEPS and energy industry regulator URSO.
Sulik further told reporters that the party doesn't think it necessary to organise "major purges" at these organisations. "The former government didn't do so everywhere either. Certain ministers were so enlightened that they didn't stoop to such moves. Almost no one was replaced in the first stage at the finance ministry, where I worked as advisor," he said.
