Rough words of a publicist about a coalition without We are a family: Politically unrealistic, they are clueless – Topky.sk

He reminded that people can get sick, be on business trips, specific individuals may have different opinions on the adopted legislation, which, according to Hrabek, with a fragile majority of a single member, creates a significant risk of failure in voting. “In an extreme case, only 39 deputies may be enough to pass a law, but you need 76 to open a parliamentary session. I can’t imagine that quite well with this opposition.” Hrabko remarked. According to him, the situation would be different if the coalition officially had 76 members, but in real votes it would also be supported by a part of non-attached deputies who do not officially vote for it.

The coalition’s behavior shows signs of helplessness

According to Hrabek, the current behavior of the coalition shows signs of helplessness. Although several coalition leaders spoke of the need for urgent legislative changes, they did not submit them to parliament in the fastest way, ie by a parliamentary proposal, but based a commission on their elaboration. “They could also submit it in the form of a parliamentary proposal, it is not difficult to find such a member, but first they would have to know what they want to submit. To support all four coalition partners. They don’t know it, and the commission doesn’t seem to know it yet. “ Hrabko remarked.

He praised the Commission for restoring confidence in the rule of law

He appreciated that the Commission for the Restoration of Confidence in the Rule of Law operates transparently, the names of its members are known and that, with the exception of two representatives of the Specialized Criminal Court, representatives of the judiciary do not participate in its work. “I think they made a mistake when they accepted participation in a commission that is, in addition to professional, also of a political or state nature,” stated. However, according to him, it would be a bigger problem if the legislative changes were adopted purposefully, just because some coalition deputies do not agree with the specific decision of Attorney General Maroš Žilinka.

“Vladimír Mečiar and his government were the first to change the law due to personal disputes. I suggest that President Michal Kováč would not appoint Ivan Lex as Director of the SIS. Therefore, it was ordered to change the law, the president was deprived of his competence and adopted by the government. “ reminded Hrabko. He added that by using section 363 of the Criminal Procedure Code, Žilinka had only fulfilled his legal competence, which could hardly be replaced by the courts. “When deciding on detention, the judge is based on the initial assumption that what he has on paper was achieved in accordance with the law. He can’t investigate if this was really the case. But the Attorney General has the right to verify that the law has been acted upon. And if he finds that the rights of the person concerned have been violated, it is his duty to cancel it. “ summed up Hrabko.
