Parliamentary Speaker Maintains MP Violated Dress Code with Political T-shirt

Parliamentary Speaker Peter Gašpar insists that opposition MP Ľuboš Hlina violated parliamentary rules by wearing a t-shirt with political messaging during a session. Hlina defended himself Tuesday, explaining that while Gašpar interpreted the text on his shirt as referring to the ruling Smer-SD party, he intended it to reference the country's direction. The opposition lawmaker maintains he did not breach parliamentary dress code regulations. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions in Slovakia's National Council, the country's parliament, where strict dress codes are enforced during official proceedings.
