Share:
Parliament Speaker Andrej Danko ejected opposition lawmaker Zuzana Mesterová from the parliamentary chamber for having petition papers on her desk. The papers contained signatures for a petition by Progressive Slovakia opposing restrictions on voting from abroad. Progressive Slovakia, a liberal opposition party, condemned the action as unprecedented and criticized Danko's intervention. The incident has sparked heated debate in Slovakia's National Council, the country's parliament, over parliamentary procedures and the handling of opposition activities during legislative sessions.
