Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger declared on Sunday May 7 that he had brought the resignation of his interim government to President Zuzana Caputova, following a persistent political crisis. “I asked the president to revoke my mandate”, Eduard Heger, who has led the interim government since December, told reporters.
The Prime Minister assured that all his decisions will be coordinated with the Head of State, whom he must meet on Sunday afternoon. Slovak MPs overthrew the four-party coalition government of Eduard Heger in a vote of no confidence on December 15. Since then, his team has managed the country until the new elections to be held on September 30.
