According to commentator Juraj Hrabko, the coalition can keep governing until regular parliamentary elections even with the narrowest majority of 76 votes in the National Council of the Slovak Republic. Such a number of lawmakers would allow it to continue governing despite having only a minimal parliamentary majority. aktuality.sk ↗

Hrabko also pointed out that the coalition functioning with 76 votes would be demanding. In such a case, greater pressure would fall on the Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, Richard Raši, who would have to devote more attention to organizing parliamentary work. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗

The role of the speaker of parliament would be important especially in planning negotiations and ensuring the course of votes. With the narrowest majority, according to Hrabko, the attendance of coalition lawmakers and the ability to coordinate individual sessions of the National Council of the Slovak Republic can be decisive.

The topic relates to parliamentary mathematics and the stability of the government coalition. Even a minimal majority can allow the government to continue until the regular parliamentary elections, though its functioning may be more demanding organizationally.

Richard Raši, as Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, would therefore have a significant role in running parliament in such a situation. To continue governing, the coalition would need to maintain the support of at least 76 lawmakers and ensure their attendance at key votes.
