Hlas-SD Leader Calls on Progressive Slovakia to Support Constitutional Amendment on Referendums

Peter Raši, leader of the Hlas-SD party, has called on Progressive Slovakia to support a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow voters to shorten the parliamentary term through a valid referendum. The National Council, Slovakia's parliament, will consider the constitutional change in the coming days. The amendment would enshrine in the constitution the possibility of cutting short the current four-year electoral term if approved by referendum. Hlas-SD is part of the ruling coalition alongside Robert Fico's Smer-SD party and the Slovak National Party, while Progressive Slovakia is the largest opposition party and has been critical of the current government's policies.
