Ultimatum for Matovič
Two coalition parties, Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) and Za Ľudí, have conditioned their stay in the government with the departure of Igor Matovič (OĽaNO) from the prime ministerial post.
SaS and its chair Richard Sulík gave him time to decide until next Wednesday, March 24, when the party’s national council is scheduled to meet and decide on the next steps. Sulík even offered his post in exchange for Matovič’s resignation at the March 15 press conference.

State planned tests for home use, but the minister bought the wrong ones

The Health Ministry recently purchased 35 million rapid tests for nearly €140 million.
Chief Marek Krajčí (OĽaNO) announced “a big change” in testing, claiming that people will no longer have to be tested in the mobile testing sites. Instead, they were supposed to test themselves at home, the Sme daily reported.
The purchased tests cannot be used for this purpose, however, analyst Martin Smatana, former head of now-defunct Institute for Health Policy, wrote on Facebook.
Apart from the already purchased tests, the Administration of State Material Reserves (SŠHR) is ready to purchase a further 25 million rapid tests, as stems from a cabinet ordinance adopted on February 18, Sme wrote.
