BRATISLAVA, 29 March, 2021 (TON): Igor Matovic, the Prime Minister of Slovakia surprisingly announced to resign and swap roles with Eduard Heger the Finance Minister.

On Sunday, the announcement was made jointly after consultations between the party leaders of three of the four coalition parties.

Heger, who belongs to Matovic's party Ordinary People and Independent Personalities (OLaNO), announced talks with all coalition partners and said he would meet with President Zuzana Caputova on Monday.

The four-party coalition had fallen into a serious crisis over a dispute regarding its coronavirus policy.

However, the smaller coalition partners SaS and Za Ludi (For the People) blamed Matovic for the high number of pandemic fatalities in the country and accused him of arrogance. Meanwhile, the critics in the coalition consider the vaccine, not a problem but Matovic's intolerable governing style.
