Irena Bihari, chairwoman of the non-parliamentary party Progressive Slovakia (PS), noted that the adoption of the bill should improve the living and legal situation and position in society, including their children, couples who do not want or cannot marry.

“This includes heterosexual couples who, for various reasons, do not want to get married. Slovakia has long ignored the situation of the couples concerned and thus maintains the legal and social situation, as a result of which same-sex couples are overlooked, discriminated against and exposed to disproportionate and unjustified obstacles. “

The author of the bill is lawyer Lucia Plaváková, who lives with her partner and child. He says the life partnership institute will be open to all couples, regardless of the gender of the couple.

“The bill is a follow-up to the Life Partnership platform initiative, in which more than 40 non-governmental organizations have been promoting this institute since 2015. This partnership will be open to two people over the age of 18, regardless of their gender. There will be share-free co-ownership between the partners, which they will be able to exclude by joint declaration. The proposal also contains legislation that will allow the adoption of a life partner or the partner of the parent of a minor child, which is similar to the case of persons in a married relationship, “she explained.

The bill will be submitted to the National Council of the Slovak Republic by MP Tomáš Valášek (nezar., PS). He said they were motivated to introduce the law for two reasons. One of them is the re-submission of a bill to reduce abortions, and the other is that some coalition deputies have submitted a declaration to the National Council in support of minorities.

“We welcome her, of course, but the declaration will not help same-sex couples convince the court to share childcare. The declaration will not help people who lose a shared house after the death of a same-sex partner. The declaration will not help same-sex couples when, in a time of serious health crisis, they find out that they are not even entitled to know if their partner is OK, “he said.

Plaváková pointed out that the legal recognition of same-sex couples in the form of life (registered) partnerships constitutes a minimum standard of protection for their family and private life in Europe. “Sixteen European countries guarantee a higher standard in the form of equal access to marriage, while Slovakia is one of the last states in the European Union that has no legislation for same-sex couples.”

The progressives presented their proposal in Košice, where they also took part in a rainbow march.
