Parliament: The meeting initiated by PS will not, Rashi goes to risk
The PS meeting, which the critics described as a mistake, will not be.
BRATISLAVA. Arrival Miroslava Radačovský Finally, the parliamentary bench will not help Progressive Slovakia. The coalition will arrange the arrival of its 76 deputy regardless of the opposition activities.
At the end of last week, among other things, Slovakia Igor Matovič She pointed out that the strongest opposition party PS is about to convene a meeting where the transactional transaction should be abolished Taxes. What makes a political mistake.
The coalition would create space for the parliamentary substitute to take the parliamentary mandate Rudolf Huliakwhich President Last week he appointed as Minister of Tourism and sports.
The interpretation of the Party of Slovakia implies that if the dog meeting did not call, the government coalition would have no choice but to wait for the planned parliamentary session, starting on 25 March so that Radačovský could take functions.
Matovic and his deputy Gábor Grendel At the same time, they were based on the belief that the coalition was in a stalemate in a stalemate, since it had only an inadequate 75 deputies with whom he could not open the meeting.
Dispute over the interpretation of the Rules of Procedure and the Constitution – or the Substitute of Radačovský can also take over the mandate of the deputy at an extraordinary meeting, whose program cannot be supplemented and whether it is necessary that the plenum of the quorum is at that time – it has stopped having a practical dimension on Monday.
The coalition has figured out how Radačovský to get to office in any case, results from SME findings.
1. Why not the PS -called meeting will not be?
Finally, the meeting that the PS convened to the abolition of the transaction tax will not take place.
PS MPs filed a proposal on Wednesday last week, which, according to the Act on the Rules of Procedure, began the President of Parliament, whose powers are the vice -chairman. Peter Žiga from the voice, the seven -day period to call the meeting.
Žiga decided not to call the meeting on Monday. The point of the program designed by the PS is almost the same as the proposal to cancel the transaction tax from the deputy SaS Marián Viskupič of December 2024. Viskupič's proposal was then rejected by the parliamentary majority.
A new proposal in the same thing may be filed by law National Council At the earliest six months. The meeting, as the PS proposed, would thus be convened in violation of the Rules of Procedure.
« Since 180 days have not passed, the meeting cannot be convened. Today I have issued a decision that such a meeting will not be convened, » Žiga informed.
The Radačovský coalition substitute will not be given space to take his mandate at a meeting convened and open by opposition parties.
2. Why does not even depend on whether there are at least 76 deputies in the plenary?
Representatives of Progressive Slovakia claimed last week that at a meeting convened by their group of deputies, Radačovský cannot take up the mandate, because the program of such a meeting cannot be supplemented by the Rules of Procedure.
Slovakia, in turn, argued the case from autumn 2023, when several new deputies took the mandate at the beginning of the same type of meeting.
In fact, whether it is planned or the President of Parliament or the MEPs, apparently does not matter at all. It is probably not essential to whether the meeting will be opened – ie whether at least 76 deputies are presented in the Chamber.
Several legal views point out that to exercise your mandate is the right arising from the Constitution. At the same time, it is not the real point of the meeting, and therefore it is not necessary for her program to change.
According to SME information, the management of Parliament is prone to acquire this interpretation that suits the coalition. Radačovský could make a promise at the beginning of any nearest meeting, no later than 25 March.
It will not depend on whether there are enough deputies in the plenary, the promise will be able to take the promise before it will be found in the hall at all whether the plenum is able to recognize.
According to the Constitution, the deputy, attending his first meeting, is a promise. According to this interpretation, the meeting is also considered a « meeting » of the plenary, where a sufficient number of deputies are not shown.
This means that the coalition is not actually in a stalemate, and nothing prevents the radar mandate from taking over.

3. Coalition MPs are approaching the next week without work
The argument for which in the last weeks of the depression of parliament and government activities has been three last weeks spring holidays Gradually in different parts of Slovakia.
Already last week on Tuesday or Wednesday wanted voice chairman Matúš Šutaj Eštok A meeting at which Parliament would vote for the President of Parliament, who has not been in 2024 since April.
The chief of his voice had not previously found that one of the coalition deputies – Roman Michelko of SNS – He would not be able to attend the meeting for health reasons.
Since the Prime Minister Robert Fico of Direction He still did not require an agreement to cooperate with three rebellious deputies from his voice – independent Samuel Migaľ and Radomír Šalitroš, and Ján Ferenčák (still voice), the coalition has a certain support for the so far only the closest majority of 76 deputies, including the Substitute of Radačovský.
This is one of the reasons why the intention to carry out such a meeting was moved to the current week. However, according to SME information, it does not have to take place again. Not all parties of the government coalition support her for this week.
The Coalition Council, which will meet on Tuesday, should definitely decide on this. The proposal in the coalition is that a possible meeting would take place on Thursday.
Fico expressed doubts over the weekend whether the new President of Parliament would be able to choose the coalition. Voice nominee Richard Raši It goes to undergo a risk according to Fico.
« In the secret choice, everything can happen, » said the Prime Minister, who only managed to guarantee Rashi the votes of MPs for Direction.
