The Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic Eduard Heger thinks that by the end of the year Slovakia will continue to deteriorate as the pandemic situation avoids a state of emergency. He expressed this in the TV talk show Markíza Na telo.
The Minister of Health Vladimír Lengvarský also wants to avoid the introduction of a state of emergency, but he admits the tightening of anti-pandemic measures.
He also states in a discussion program on TA3 V politics that there is not yet a political will to introduce compulsory vaccination, and sees the way in which it is enforced as questionable. “We do not want to limit people or introduce a state of emergency. We want us to realize that it’s up to them to decide. “ he emphasized that vaccination protects people, their surroundings and contributes to the fact that hospitals are not filled.
Mayors and mayors, on the other hand, call on the government to introduce a state of emergency, as this is the only way for them to enforce a night curfew in a district with a bad pandemic situation.
“According to our current legislation, a declaration of a state of emergency is a necessary precondition for restricting freedom of movement. The authority authorized to make such a decision within the framework of measures to mitigate and eliminate damage and other consequences caused in time of war, state of war, state of emergency and state of emergency is the Government of the Slovak Republic. “ it is stated in the opinion of the Union of Slovak Cities, stating that the municipality does not have the competence to restrict freedom of movement from 21.00 to 5.00 ha of business hours, even in the case of a worsened epidemiological situation.
“We cannot recommend the mayors of cities and their councils to take such a decision as a result of not having a legal basis for these decisions, nor any other possibility of meaningful intervention.” added Richard Rybníček, President of the ÚMS.
