Slovak Parliament Overrides Presidential Veto on Collective Investment Law

Slovakia's parliament has overridden President Peter Pellegrini's veto of amendments to the collective investment law, allowing the legislation to take effect without his signature. Pellegrini refused to sign the bill for the second time, but lawmakers voted to break his veto, demonstrating their authority to enact legislation even when the president opposes it. In Slovakia's parliamentary system, the president serves largely as a ceremonial head of state, while the National Council holds primary legislative power and can override presidential vetoes with sufficient support.
