(ANSA-AFP) - BRATISLAVA, MAY 15 - Slovak President Zuzana
Caputova appointed a caretaker government on Monday to lead the
European Union and NATO member until snap elections in late
September. The new non-partisan government in the country of 5.4
million will be led by the former deputy governor of Slovakia's
central bank Ludovit Odor. The 46-year-old will be Slovakia's
third head of government since elections in 2020. His immediate
predecessor, Eduard Heger, stepped down on May 7 following a
scandal involving a member of his government allegedly
benefitting from state subsidies. His agriculture minister,
Samuel Vlcan, resigned earlier this month after a case involving
a 1.4-million-euro ($1.6 million) subsidy to his company.
"Governments of technocrats get to speak only when no other
constitutional solution is offered," Caputova said during a
ceremony for Odor's appointment in Bratislava. (ANSA-AFP).
