Ľubomír Jahnátek was chairman of the network industry regulation office URSO since July 2017. Suspected for illegal conduct and following the proposal of the current Ministry of Economy, he was dismissed from his functions on 4 June 2020 by the newly elected government, because he did not fulfil the legal conditions required for the performance of this function when he was appointed. The office allegedly did not act independently and the work his son performs for the Nuclear Energetic Company of Slovakia is also problematic.
