A new name has just been added to the list of potential Slovak ministers: Rudolf Huliak, nominated by the far-right Slovak National Party to be Minister of the Environment. However, Mr. Huliak denies any reality of climate change, convinced that the concept was invented to steal… cars from honest citizens. Mr. Huliak has already distinguished himself criticism "eco-terrorists" from Brussels" and called for the hanging of pro-environmental activists. "This appointment is absurd and dangerous." , " he said progressive Slovak MEP Michal Wiezik (Renew). Mr. Huliak at the head of the Ministry of the Environment would send a clear message to Europe that Slovakia cares little about climate issues, while risking violating European rules, Wiezik emphasized. Internet petition has already collected almost 40,000 signatures against Mr. Huliak's appointment. The candidate for the post of minister himself launched a counter-petition in his favor, which collected only 10,000 signatures. (Barbara Zmušková).
