Biography
Migaľ was born on 30 June 1982 in Košice. He attended a forestry trade school in Vranov nad Topľou and afterwards studied media communication at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, graduating in 2010. From 2004 to 2023 he worked as a news reporter for TV JOJ.[1] In October 2023, Migaľ revealed in an interview with the Slovak daily SME that he was among the journalists whose personal information was found on a USB flash drive belonging to Marián Kočner, the businessman indicted in connection with numerous crimes.[2]
Migaľ became MP soon after the 2023 Slovak parliamentary election a replacement for Denisa Saková. In 2024, he joined forces with fellow Voice – Social Democracy MP Ján Ferenčák, Radomír Šalitroš and Roman Malatinec to demand resignation of the parliamentary leader of the party Róbert Puci and government reshuffle.[3] In reaction, Migaľ and Šalitroš were expelled from the party in January 2025.[4]
In March 2025, Migaľ ended his feud with the governing coalition in exchange for becoming the minister of regional development.[5]
