Parliament removes Taraba, coalition weighs next steps
President Peter Pellegrini is officially expected to remove him from office on Wednesday, September 30. After leaving the government, Taraba will return to parliament, which could change the balance in future votes. teraz.sk ↗
Prime Minister Robert Fico announced that the Smer-SD party will convene its presidium on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. The reason is said to be the SNS's conduct during the vote on Taraba's removal. The coalition partner Hlas described the situation as a dangerous development and called for immediate negotiations at the negotiating table. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
SNS lawmaker Roman Michelko rejected claims that recalling its own nominee violated the coalition agreement. SNS views the decision as restoring the party's authority within the coalition.
The opposition described the recall as proof that the governing cooperation is falling apart. SaS leader Branislav Gröhling stated that, in his view, the coalition agreement is merely a formal document, and he expects an agreement on the earliest possible date for early elections. Progressive Slovakia leader Michal Šimečka called on Fico to resign and claims that early elections are the only solution. The coalition's next steps are expected to be known after the Smer leadership meeting and subsequent negotiations between the parties.
