Remisova dismisses For the People general manager

Head of the coalition For the People Veronika Remisova confirmed for TASR on Tuesday that she has dismissed party general manager Roman Krpelan, citing her long-term dissatisfaction with his work. According to Remisova, not only her, but also other For the People members have found Krpelan's work unsatisfactory. In line with the party's statutes, the general manager is supposed to coordinate the overall activity of the party at both the national and regional level, but Krpelan's results up to now have been sub-par, be they in the pre-election campaign or in organising the party following the general election, Remisova said, adding that Krpelan had failed to provide a credible explanation for his contacts with a certain Peter Kosc, a controversial businessman featuring in the Gorilla case scandal who has also been charged with bribing former special prosecutor Dusan Kovacik.
