The new Slovak government has not yet received the confidence of the parliament, but the opposition is already planning the first dismissals of government officials. The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Ľuboš Blaha (Smer-SSD) published a video on the Telegram social network of how he changed the flag of the European Union and the portrait of President Zuzana Čaputová in his new office.

The court ruled that the Minister of the Interior, Matúš Šutaj Eštok, made a mistake in dismissing Police Vice President Branko Kišš from his position. Minister Šutaj Eštok issued an organizational measure by which he abolished the functions of vice presidents from November.

Struggles with injuries and related complications kept Slovakian striker Martin Pospíšil from his debut in the NHL for a long time, but he finally made it. In his first match in the pro league, the Slovak striker managed to score, scoring his team’s first goal in the game.
