Parliament recalled the opposition MP Petra Krištúfková (We Are Family) from the Parliamentary Committee for Supervising Military Intelligence by 73 votes on Wednesday. "If the coalition really ousts her from the committee, Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) will begin talks within the opposition concerning the possibility of all opposition heads of parliamentary committees giving up their posts," said Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) Vice-chair Ľubomír Galko in Parliament, in response to a proposal by Anton Hrnko (Slovak National Party-SNS) to recall Krištúfková from the committee because of her past and alleged mafia connections. Galko added that Krištúfková is not facing any criminal notification or prosecution.
"If you do this, we'll start talks within the opposition regarding all opposition committee chairs giving up their posts, and then you can manage it here by yourselves," said Galko. "If you recall me, I'll survive it," said Krištúfková, adding that she has nothing to hide. She pointed out that Anton Hrnko and Slovak National Party (SNS) head and parliamentary chair Andrej Danko have known about her past for at least two years and that they approved her membership to the committee.
