SaS party is risk to democracy, claims Prime Minister

In connection with Wednesday's parliamentary session which plans to discuss the alleged abuse of Military Defence Intelligence (VOS) in SaS's favour by former Defence Minister Ľubomír Galko (Freedom and Solidarity/SaS), Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) said that the Opposition party SaS is a risk to democracy. The premier believes it's right that a public debate on this matter will take place in Parliament. "The public has the right to know that SaS is a risk to democracy because it has proven this through specific steps," stated Fico. New information from members of the former Military Defence Intelligence was revealed during an extraordinary meeting on February 9. It stated that innocent people were wiretapped in order to find out what opinions they had about SaS, bank accounts were monitored, and that when SaS chief Richard Sulík was head of parliament, he limited the time for speeches by opposition MPs. In response, representatives of the Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party stated that the Smer-SD political party is ideologically empty and declining in support, so it's bringing only conflicts to society.
