Former Judicial Council Member Calls for Deputy Chair's Dismissal

Dana Jelinková Dudzíková, a former member of Slovakia's Judicial Council, has submitted a formal proposal to dismiss the council's deputy chairwoman, Ayše Pružinec Eren. The Judicial Council is the constitutional body responsible for overseeing judicial independence and appointing judges to higher courts in Slovakia. The council, composed of judges, legal professionals, and parliamentary appointees, plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the country's judicial system and has been at the center of ongoing debates about judicial reform and independence.
