The head of the People's Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) Marian Kotleba, who was found guilty of sympathising with a movement aimed at suppressing fundamental human rights and freedoms by the Supreme Court in early April, has officially lost his seat in Parliament, which means that the LSNS caucus will be dissolved as a result, Parliamentary Vice-chair Gabor Grendel (OLaNO) announced on Tuesday.
Grendel explained that Kotleba has lost his seat in line with the Constitution for being convicted of a deliberate crime. Because the party caucus has lost a member and does not have the minimum number of MPs required by the law, the caucus will be dissolved and its MPs will become Independents.
