President Peter Pellegrini signed on Tuesday the amendment to the law on the rules of procedure of the National Council of the Slovak Republic. The amendment introduces stricter sanctions for deputies who violate parliamentary rules. Deputies could thus lose their entire salary for violating their duties. Pellegrini stated that the law does not exceed constitutional limits and that it is an autonomous matter of the National Council. The president confirmed that he has no reason to intervene in the regulation of internal parliamentary affairs, since the amendment remains within the framework of the valid legal order.
The opposition's request for the president to return the amendment was unsuccessful. The amendment to the law on the rules of procedure also contains a code of ethics for deputies and specifies the course of proceedings of the legislative body.
On the same day, Pellegrini also signed an amendment to the law on banks and the commercial register. The changes will affect the finances of Slovaks. Banks will have to comply with new rules, and payments via QR codes will be carried out free of charge. These measures should simplify financial operations for citizens.
In another context, President Peter Pellegrini and Speaker of the National Council Richard Raši plan to visit the so-called liberated territories of Azerbaijan during this year. The planned trip was announced by the Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to Azerbaijan. Several other visits between the two countries are planned for this year, which are meant to strengthen bilateral relations.
