Members of Parliament of the National Council of the Slovak Republic again failed on Thursday, September 17 in Bratislava to open the extraordinary session on the dismissal of Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok. Parliament lacked a quorum due to the low number of legislators present, and therefore debate on the dismissal motion did not begin. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The opposition attempted repeatedly to open the session. The previous two attempts on Wednesday were also unsuccessful. However, even on Thursday, not enough MPs gathered in the plenary chamber for the proceedings to continue. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
The motion to dismiss the minister was submitted by the opposition. As reasons, it cites suspicions of conflict of interest, irregularities related to expensive plane tickets, and equipment purchases it considers overpriced. Minister Šutaj Eštok is a member of the Hlas-SD party. SITA ↗
On Thursday, the extraordinary session on the dismissal of Economy Minister Denisa Saková also failed to open. The motion for her dismissal was submitted by the Slovakia movement (Hnutie Slovensko) and was also supported by other opposition parties. Both sessions were thus unable to begin, as the quorum requirement was not met. domov.sme.sk ↗
Further proceedings will depend on whether parliament manages to gather in sufficient numbers to reopen the debate. Until then, MPs will not be able to address in the plenary chamber the opposition's actual reasons for seeking the dismissal of either the interior minister or the economy minister.
