Drucker: Voice-SD MPs Won't Vote for Overriding of President's Veto

(TA3, 'V politike', May 25) MPs for the coalition Voice-SD party won't vote for overriding of President Peter Pellegrini's veto in Parliament, Education Minister Tomas Drucker (Voice-SD) said on TA3's discussion programme 'V politike' (In Politics) on Sunday. Drucker reacted in this way to a question as to how will Voice-SD MPs approach the vetoed bills on the so-called COVID amnesties and life annuity for the prosecutor-general. "I think that Mr. president demonstrated that he is an independent institution also in this respect. He came up with his own argumentation and we kind of identified with it," said Drucker, adding that Voice-SD leader Matus Sutaj Estok has definitely spoken about it with Premier Robert Fico (Smer-SD). His opponent on the show, opposition MP Ivan Stefunko (Progressive Slovakia/PS) said that MPs for PS won't back breaking of the veto, either. ko
