BRATISLAVA. Prime Minister a year ago Robert Fico He sharply criticized the opposition KDH for being « paid » with politicians as a conservative party in opposition SaS and PS and Igor Matovič. He said KDH must be « politically boned », which he described as a « too demanding role ».

Now he’s Fico Direction It can try to get the KDH into a difficult situation through an attempt to change the constitution. In Parliament today, two different proposals are waiting for the vote – one government, which is covered by Prime Minister Fico, and one design from the KDH workshop.

On Tuesday, Vice -President of Parliament for Direction Tibor Gašpar He announced that deputies from his club are not going to support the draft constitutional law, which KDH wants to supplement the constitution.

KDH proposes changes to various topics in seven points – for example, that when leaving the EU and NATO would be necessary referendumbut also a ban on surrogate motherhood, when a child is brought by another mother, or the provision that only mother and father can be parents.

Only the government proposal that has submitted to the government and advocates the Prime Minister Fico himself want to move to the second reading. Among other things, it proposes to anchor the sentence directly to the Constitution that Slovakia recognizes only two genders – a man and a woman or a provision of adoption for persons of the same sex.

And although Smer plans to reject the KDH proposal in the first reading, the opposition party wants to argue which their proposals could be supplemented by the coalition to its current proposal.

« We want to start communicating with KDH how to incorporate and change this government proposal, not to push the KDH proposal to the second reading, » Gašpar said on Tuesday.

The proposal of the Christian Democrats, according to the statements Andreja Danko They are not going to support even Members SNS And according to information, we are probably a voice.

« Government, » the CIS chairman answered the question of whether the CIS deputies will only support the government proposal for constitutional changes, or even from the KDH.

The KDH votes, together with the votes of the thirteen deputies of the Slovak Club, who announced the support of the proposal of the Christian Democrats, is not enough for the proposal to go into the second reading.

The movement thus finds himself in a delicate situation where its chairman of the Majero week repeats to voters that « value topics » that are trying to get into the constitution have been « 35 years since the establishment of KDH’s identity » and no one can blame them that they would « pull them out of the hat now ».

If the KDH loses its proposal in the first reading, it means that, according to the parliamentary rules, he may lose a similar proposal at the earliest half a year. This is when the direction of the movement offers a debate to modify its own proposal.

Majerský: We will try to move everything

Even on Tuesday morning, KDH deputies did not clearly answer questions about how a parliamentary club composed of eleven deputies will be preserved in the vote on the government’s draft constitutional law. It was expected that Parliament to dispose of both proposals for further parliamentary sessions – the government and the KDH – will be decided on Tuesday. Finally, a vote on Wednesday is expected to supplement the Parliament program.
