House session to deal with vetoed bills rescheduled

Parliament will deliberate on September 1 over bills that have been vetoed by President Zuzana Caputova. Originally, parliamentary chair Boris Kollar intended to have the President's veto overridden at a session slated for Wednesday (August 12), yet it seems that Parliament won't have a quorum on that date with the ongoing holiday season. A minimum of 76 lawmakers or a simple majority is required to override the President's veto. Kollar wants to have at least 80 coalition legislators present for the session.
In late July, President Zuzana Caputova vetoed a Government-sponsored bill aimed at changing the way in which the prosecutor-general and special prosecutor are elected, as well as a bill allowing the Public Health Office to obtain data from mobile-phone operators in order to track people who have visited so-called 'red countries'. A third vetoed bill was an amendment to the law on the children's commissionaire and commissionaire for disabled people.
