About event
The Minister of Culture Šimkovičová was set up by the management of the Slovak Literary Center and Bibiana for the destructive consequences for the operation of both institutions, literature, international cooperation and key projects.
8. January 2025 became temporarily authorized director of the Slovak Literary Center Gustáv Murín, the well -known author of the conspiracy literature, who also works as a blogger and video blogger and spreads conspiracy narratives on his channels.
Not even a month after it, employees and employees SLC have published a complaint describing his chaotic management of institutions, unrealistic requirements, intimidation, cancellation of valid contracts and liabilities despite paid fees. According to them, Gustav Murín creates an enemy environment in the institution, the report is vulgar and even accused one employee of a cyber attack on his computer. Currently, legal steps are directed against employment.
International House of Arts for Children Bibiana suffered a massive departure of professional employment and budget cuts last year. Dozens of publishing houses have committed to boycott the current announced year of the competition The most beautiful books of Slovakia due to the unprofessional management of the institution and that the Minister was appointed and later in a non -transparent selection procedure elected director Petra Flach signed a new status of the competition. At the beginning of February, the boycott of the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava also announced the organization of the Illustrators' Association - Asil as well as Illustrator Ireland.

🔴 The dismissal of Gustav Murín and appointment of a qualified successor or successor based on a selection procedure with the participation of the professional public and a public hearing
