Slovak Parliament to Resume Session Tuesday, Including Vote on Foreign Candidate

Slovakia's National Council, the country's parliament, will continue its session starting Tuesday with several unfinished items on the agenda, including a vote on a candidate from abroad. Two laws that were vetoed by President Peter Pellegrini also remain pending for discussion. The parliamentary session had been previously interrupted, leaving these legislative matters unresolved. President Pellegrini, who took office in June 2024, has used his constitutional power to return legislation to parliament for reconsideration, requiring lawmakers to either override his vetoes or amend the proposed laws.
