I am not an eco-terrorist nor a superstitious person; Turk's words were an exaggeration, says the candidate for Minister of Motorists, Červený
Igor Červený, candidate for the governmental position of Minister of Motorists, addresses concerns over comments made by Filip Turk and outlines his priorities for the role.
In a recent interview, Igor Červený, the candidate for the Minister of Motorists, discussed his vision for the ministry amidst ongoing debates regarding budget cuts to the Ministry of the Environment. Červený defended himself against accusations of extremism made by Filip Turk, clarifying that his statements were exaggerated. He emphasized the importance of clear communication with President concerning his management approach before disclosing further plans to the media.
Červený highlighted significant cuts in the environment ministry's budget, reportedly down by 36% this year, with predictions of even sharper declines next year. This reduction poses a significant challenge to the ministry's operations and priorities. As Červený prepares for his potential role, he acknowledged the necessity to address these financial constraints and engage with colleagues to navigate the budgetary challenges effectively.
Furthermore, Červený is expected to continue the personnel policies established by the previous administration, although he remains cautious about discussing specifics until after his conversation with the President. His careful approach illustrates the complex landscape of political appointments in Czechia, where communication and strategy are vital for accountability in government roles and environmental governance.
