Who is the lesser evil? Who will do less damage? An extremely bad manager J\u00e1n Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd or a very talented manager Samuel Vl\u010dan, who had certain corruption affairs? Vl\u010dan really managed the ministry very well from a managerial point of view. Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd was extremely weak from a managerial point of view and failed.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>A great positive of Vl\u010dan was that forestry was also a priority for him, and he tried to portray forestry positively in the media, which was not a topic for his predecessors at all (except for Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd, of course).<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Furthermore, it turned out that Vl\u010dan did not enter politics completely selflessly and did not perceive his mandate solely as a service to the people. Instead of protecting nature and the countryside from Budaj&#8217;s fools, instead of protecting the public interest, he prioritized business with Budaj in connection with the landfill, whether in the form of subsidies, higher revenues, and more. Budaj did not give the benefits for Vl\u010dan&#8217;s landfill business for free. At first, I thought that Heger, who swallowed all of Budaj&#8217;s crazy lies, was pushing him into unfair practices with the crazy pseudo-reform of national parks, but in the end, it turned out that there were other interests involved.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Matovi\u010d and MP \u0160ud\u00edk are scoring political points on Vl\u010dan&#8217;s advisor Martin Ondr\u00e1\u0161 and on hatred. I have checked the information. There is no evidence that Ondr\u00e1\u0161 was directly behind the subsidy for Vl\u010dan&#8217;s secretary Kyse\u013e, or his family. The only thing Ondr\u00e1\u0161 did was to criticize the disproportionate hate and disproportionate media hysteria over this minor case.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Igor_Matovic\"><\/span><strong>Igor Matovi\u010d<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vNqJ1QcaV-I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Igor Matovi\u010d,<\/a> the current number one enemy is Heger and the President. He is collecting political points on Vl\u010dan&#8217;s case for preferences based on division and hatred. Currently, the President and Heger are a bigger enemy for Matovi\u010d than Robert Fico.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eduard_Heger\"><\/span><strong>Eduard Heger<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>As I said right at the beginning of Eduard Heger&#8217;s prime ministerial term, it would not be blessed, and so it happened. The universe does not bless religious fanaticism. Heger became the least successful prime minister in the history of Slovakia. Every cloud has a silver lining. Now even religious fanatics must humbly admit that their man, a Pentecostal Christian, has failed and fallen. Hopefully, these people will at least think a little about whether religious fanaticism is really a cure for everything.<br \/>\r\nHeger wanted to curry favor with God before the end of his term, so he incorporated the comment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jankabittociganikova\/videos\/ako-biskupi-bojuj%C3%BA-proti-terorizmu\/577454221153801\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">of the Conference of Bishops of Slovakia<\/a> in a very controversial way. Even that didn&#8217;t help him.<br \/>\r\nI believe that Heger&#8217;s story will be a lesson for secular people as well, that religious fanaticism does not belong in politics.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caretaker_government\"><\/span><strong>Caretaker government<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>At the time of writing this article, it is not yet known who the ministers will be. I am not worried about the caretaker government, except for two ministries: the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture. It is publicly known that the President has very close ties and contacts with very dangerous left-wing extremists in the field of nature protection, such as Juraj Smatana, Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Huba, Juraj Rizman, and the like. If Huba or Smatana were to become ministers, then God help us, we will miss Budaj even more. We do not need psychiatric patients as ministers. I hope that the President is at least somewhat in touch with reality, I hope she knows how much pseudo-ecological extremism divides society and will not add fuel to the fire with more extremists. It will also be very important who becomes the Minister of Agriculture. The composition of both ministries will determine whether non-intervention in national parks will expand even further and whether the first private national park, Podunajsko, will be created for the egoistic business interests of the BROZ association.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nI will add a statement about the caretaker government here if the names are known.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jan_Micovsky_and_Patrik_Magdosko_updated_8_May_2023\"><\/span><strong>J\u00e1n Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd and Patrik Magdo\u0161ko (updated 8 May 2023)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Furthermore, let&#8217;s not forget that Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd&#8217;s people were not entirely free of corruption either. In addition to the Barto\u0161ov\u00e1 case, Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd also appointed the extremely managerially incompetent head of the PPA, Jaroslav J\u00e1no\u0161, who also had an affair where he requested subsidies for land that was not his, and as far as I know, he had to return some money after the affair broke out.<br \/>\r\nMany of the affairs concerning Vl\u010dan were also uncovered by former advisor Patrik Magdo\u0161ko, who got into considerable verbal conflicts with Martin Ondr\u00e1\u0161. Many of them turned out to be fabricated. I warned the media to measure twice and cut once when it came to Patrik Magdo\u0161ko. He is a legally convicted person who has a problem with alcohol. He was not exactly a trustworthy person, and he could have been motivated by a personal desire for revenge, as he and Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd were removed from their comfortable and well-paid positions at the ministry. Ondr\u00e1\u0161 also argued that Magdo\u0161ko was nervous because he himself had built certain corrupt mechanisms at the ministry for the benefit of his own companies, or rather, for the benefit of his friends. He also mentioned some more specific information somewhere on his Facebook. Personally, I think there was certainly some truth to it.<br \/>\r\nI certainly don&#8217;t think that Patrik Magdo\u0161ka&#8217;s primary motivation was to fight for the public interest.<br \/>\r\n<strong>In conclusion:<\/strong> Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd&#8217;s people were probably slightly better in terms of corruption than Vl\u010dan&#8217;s people, but Mi\u010dovsk\u00fd&#8217;s people are not without fault either.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Currently, it seems that the political careers of Samuel Vl\u010dan and Eduard Heger have ended, so it is reasonable to evaluate their political careers so far.
