Speaker of Parliament facing no-confidence motion

Speaker of Parliament Andrej Danko (Slovak National Party/SNS) once again faces a no-confidence motion on Wednesday, November 21. The extraordinary parliamentary session was summoned by the opposition, which wants to oust Danko over allegations that his rigorous thesis was plagiarised.
The opposition condemns plagiarism and declares that plagiarising texts written by others is shameful in a civilised country. "To steal the texts of others is unacceptable," underlined Parliamentary Vice-chair Lucia Ďuriš Nicholsonová (Freedom and Solidarity/SaS) when submitting the motion to hold the no-confidence vote. The opposition also attempted to oust Danko in early November, but the session agenda wasn't approved by a sufficient number of MPs at that time. The situation should be different on this occasion, however, as Danko has announced that the Slovak National Party will support the convening of the session and that he'd ask his coalition partners to do the same.
