| Slovakia’s government loses parliamentary no-confidence vote |
| Bratislava, 16.12.2022 |
|
| The fall of the coalition government is the latest stage of the ongoing political crisis, and could pave way for early elections.Slovakia’s minority coalition government has lost a vote of no-confidence in parliament that was called by the opposition following months of political crisis, and this could lead to snap elections.
On Thursday, 78 lawmakers in the 150-member parliament voted to remove the three-party government of Prime Minister Eduard Heger, heightening political instability as the country battles soaring energy prices and a weakening economy.
The vote was called by a former coalition partner, the Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party, which quit the government in September over disagreements with Igor Matovic, the leader of the strongest party in the alliance.
President Zuzana Caputova will have to appoint a new prime minister, but could ask Heger’s administration to remain in office in a caretaking capacity, with limited powers, until early elections can be held, which would need a two-thirds parliamentary majority to go ahead.
Parliamentary elections are not scheduled until February 2024Holding early polls could have an impact on the small European Union and NATO member’s support for war-torn neighbouring Ukraine, especially if it brings to power the leftist opposition, which is critical of military support for Kyiv as well as EU sanctions against Russia..
