MPs of the National Council of the Slovak Republic moved to second reading the coalition SNS proposal to extend the term of office of the National Council and local governments. In Thursday's vote, 78 MPs supported the proposed constitutional act amending the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. The proposal should change the length of the electoral term to five years, which would in the future reduce the number of elections at all levels. However, a constitutional majority of votes is still lacking to approve the change. Refresher.sk ↗
On Friday, the National Council addressed questions concerning elections from abroad. MPs opened a discussion on proposals to change the method of voting and the organization of elections from abroad. In connection with this issue, the coalition Smer-SD is proposing a change to the voting method, although a clear agreement has not yet been reached. interez.sk ↗
During Friday's session, irregularities occurred in parliament. Deputy Speaker of the National Council Andrej Danko expelled MP Zuzana Mesterová (PS) from the chamber because she had promotional materials and sheets with her that she wanted to use during her speech. Danko claims he expelled Mesterová for the promotional materials and for disruption. Deputy Speaker of the National Council Martin Dubéci (PS) described this incident as unprecedented and criticized the ejection of MPs from the chamber. Dubéci emphasized that people cannot simply be thrown out of the chamber. According to Danko, the PS MPs were preparing a coordinated attack. hnonline.sk ↗
President Peter Pellegrini signed several legislative changes. He approved an amendment to the act on information technologies in public administration, the act on equal pay for men and women for equal work or work of equal value, and the act on the certification of documents and signatures, which will come into effect in September. dennikn.sk ↗
On Friday morning, a repeated attempt to open an extraordinary session dealing with the recall of Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok ended unsuccessfully. The MPs of the National Council were not quorate – only 50 MPs registered at the opening. The motion of no confidence in the minister was therefore postponed to the next regular session, which is to take place in May. The recall was initiated by the opposition SaS. pravda.sk ↗
MPs ended Friday's session as early as 11:30 a.m., although they were originally scheduled to sit until 4:00 p.m. This was decided by Deputy Speaker of the National Council Peter Žiga (Hlas-SD) following a meeting of the parliamentary group. The MPs will meet again on Monday. hlavnespravy.sk ↗
Local governments addressed an appeal to the National Council to exempt them from the sanction mechanisms of the debt brake. They warned that without exempting local governments from the sanction mechanisms, it will not be possible to draw up their budgets for the years 2027 to 2029. The topic of the situation within the SaS party also returned, where MP Jana Bittó Cigániková was in teraz.sk ↗
