Slovak Health Minister Criticizes Coalition Partner's Proposal to Extend Parliamentary Terms

Slovak Health Minister Tomáš Drucker has criticized a parliamentary proposal by the Slovak National Party (SNS) to extend lawmakers' terms from four to five years. Drucker, a member of the ruling coalition, rejected the idea of extending parliamentary mandates through a simple legislative proposal and called for both expert analysis and broader public discussion on any changes to electoral terms. The SNS is part of the current governing coalition alongside Drucker's party, but the proposal has created internal tension within the ruling alliance over constitutional and electoral reforms.
