Slovak Parliament Fails to Open Session on Foreign Minister's Dismissal for Second Time
Share:
Slovakia's parliament failed to convene a session on the proposed dismissal of Foreign Minister Juraj Takáč for the second time, with another attempt scheduled for Thursday. Prime Minister Robert Fico of the ruling Smer-SD party has dismissed the opposition's motion to remove Takáč as a "bad joke," arguing that the foreign minister has support among Slovak farmers. The repeated inability to open the parliamentary session highlights ongoing political tensions between the ruling coalition and opposition parties over Takáč's performance in his role.
