Danko: Rasi and Drucker Fell for Games of Those Who Need to Fuel Conflict

Bratislava, October 23 (TASR) - Investment Minister Richard Rasi and Education Minister Tomas Drucker (both Voice-SD) have fallen for media games of those who need to fuel nothing but conflicts in society, SNS chair Andrej Danko stated at a press conference on Wednesday. Danko referred to changes to the state anthem planned by the Culture Ministry. He pointed out the anthem will be recorded anew in a new form only, but with the same lyrics and melody. "I understand that society takes an interest in media topics that are much easier to disseminate, some of which I call media malarkey. Today, many of you in the media spread malarkey about the new Slovak anthem, but you should also verify the information first," Danko told the attending journalists. The SNS head objected to allegations of nepotism between the Slovak songwriter, conductor and producer Oskar Rozsa and Culture Minister Martina Simkovicova (SNS nominee). "If anyone has a suspicion of corruption, they should let the ministers know. We'll be introducing anti-corruption lines in our ministries too and I don't take kindly to anyone accusing us of nepotism," he said. mf/mcs
