CURRENT Prime Minister Heger on the current situation: The coalition is still groping, Kollár is still threatening to leave – Topky

The situation in the coalition is still unresolved. The leaders have several problems on the table, but the bread is breaking on the amendment of the disputed paragraph 363. Boris Kollár has reservations about its significant adjustment or even cancellation. It also threatens the departure of the coalition. For a few days, he once again brought up the topic of rental apartments and foreclosure amnesties. If he cannot enforce his topics, he will leave the coalition.

To rule without Boris Kollár? The coalition would be nervous: Compromises will be needed! Definitely a coalition council

LIVE Prime Minister Eduard Heger on the current situation in the coalition

Updated 1:38 PM It is not clear how much longer the working committee will deal with the situation and when the results will be known. The changes to the law should be included in the inter-ministerial comment procedure in mid-November, which, according to Heger, was the original plan. “The agreement is important. We will certainly not delay it,” he added.

Updated 1:32 PM The Working Party on Restoring Confidence in Justice has prepared 17 concrete proposals. An agreement will be sought on the soil of the coalition. “The decision will be at the political level,” he said. According to Heger, some proposals will need to change legislation, but these will not be far-reaching.

Updated 1:15 PM There are several variants on the table that the working group is currently working with. As for the inspection or prosecutor’s office, the coalition is considering several options. They still have not agreed on paragraph 363. “If we can rely on the judiciary, the prosecutor should not be involved in their work.” he said.

Updated 1:10 PM “We will bear the consequences of his rule for a long time to come,” said Heger. One of the consequences is the rise in energy prices. Heger also spoke of the testimonies of witnesses and penitents who spoke about it. “There were 26 of them in total,” he said.

The collar is still threatening to leave

Several topics were to be addressed at the coalition council yesterday, they did not reach the results of the working group for restoring confidence in the rule of law, but the head of the We are Family movement talked about this topic with Heger, received the documents and should discuss it on a daily basis. They have not moved on the subject of paragraph 363 either. “The proposal was very radical, we probably won’t agree on it there,” Kollár said, adding that he was radical in that there was talk of repealing the paragraph and dividing the prosecutor’s office.

“I won’t agree with that,” stated. “I will leave the coalition until I can build apartments and make amnesties for the people,” he said. “Thus the coalition agreement falls and I will be able to do what I want. I will be able to vote with the opposition, I will be able to pass laws without a coalition council, because this is how the agreement is written,” he said. The contract does not say that the paragraph will be repealed, but that it will be reviewed. “When colleagues demand that we adhere to it, they must also adhere to it,” stated. However, the movement agrees with about ten other points.

Kollár says that if the working group comes to any conclusions, they will first discuss them at the parliamentary club and then present their opinion. “We’ll see what happens there,” he noted. Deputy Prime Minister Veronika Remišová (For the People) sees room for agreement in the conclusions of the working group for restoring confidence in the rule of law in the coalition.

She noted that solutions should be found this week to be approved as soon as possible. On behalf of the people, he advocates the reform of the police inspection, the General Prosecutor’s Office and the criminal law. These are proposals that are in the government’s program statement, says Remišová. “Good proposals make good friends. So I guess what’s in the government’s program statement shouldn’t be a problem.” stated before the coalition council meeting.
