Slovak Parliament Fails to Open Session on Minister's Dismissal Due to Lack of Quorum

The Slovak parliament failed to open a session aimed at dismissing a government minister after only 62 lawmakers showed up in the chamber, falling short of the required quorum. The session was intended to debate the removal of a minister surnamed Taraba from their position. Parliament Speaker Boris Danko criticized the absence of opposition lawmakers, stating they were "uselessly wasting time." The National Council, Slovakia's parliament, requires a minimum number of deputies present to conduct official business, and the insufficient attendance prevented the session from proceeding.
