Coalition fails to push through amendment on cooperating witnesses, one vote short
Videos
The governing coalition did not have sufficient support even after negotiations with the trio of non-affiliated lawmakers around Tomáš Taraba. Before the vote, Taraba stated that he would not support the proposal and suggested postponing the vote. He also announced his own revision of the rules. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
National Council Deputy Speaker Tibor Gašpar declared after the vote that the rule of law had lost by the amendment not being approved. At the same time, he told Taraba to explain his position to voters. Gašpar also stated that, in his view, the Smer-SD party would not let itself be blackmailed, and he called linking Taraba with the opposition obvious. hnonline.sk ↗
The opposition described the result as a major defeat for Prime Minister Robert Fico and proof of the disintegration of the government majority. According to critics, the coalition failed to push through its own proposal even after a repeat vote. hnonline.sk ↗
The failure of the amendment also raised the question of the government's stability and its ability to secure support in parliament. Coalition representatives, however, stated that the failure to approve the proposal does not necessarily mean the government will immediately collapse. Further steps will depend on negotiations with the non-affiliated lawmakers and on the preparation of a possible new proposal. tnlive.sk (Markíza) ↗
