President Zuzana Čaputová met with OĽaNO chair Igor Matovič and appointed him, as a winner of the 2020 parliamenary election, to form a government.
„
Slovakia needs a strong and legitimate government in a short time.“
Matovič said he wants to put forward a suggestion to his potential coalition partners, which said the work of politicians would be followed by investigative journalists. The fund should be financed through the state budget. The plan prompted prominent journalists to voice their many concerns about the idea of state-funded investigative reporting.
„
We are considering a proposal, which I mean to introduce to coalition partners, of establishing a fund bearing the name of Ján Kuciak to support investigative journalism.“
