Interior Minister Mikulec sees no reason to step down

Interior Minister Roman Mikulec said on Friday that he sees no reason to resign from his post when the Government is keeping to what it declared it would do before the election and the law-enforcement authorities are unveiling a criminal network at the highest state levels. Mikulec was reacting to a call by the extra-parliamentary Voice-SD party, which several Independent MPs belong to. Opposition Smer-SD leader Robert Fico wants to initiate a no-confidence motion in Mikulec as well. The calls for his resignation came in connection with the situation in the security forces and following the detention of head of the Interior Ministry's Internal Affairs Inspectorate Adrian Szabo on Thursday (June 3).
