Although the President of Parliament Richard Raši (Voice-SD) announces the intention to release the sentence of Slovakia as the only constituency, the chances of the success of this initiative are small. In TASR TV said publicist Juraj Hrabko.
According to Raši, the sentence on one constituency was inserted into the Constitution artificially in the last parliamentary term. “People in the regions do not want to have parliament from a third or even more part of Bratislava. I believe that if we get this sentence from the constitution, we will open up space to be able to discuss the change of the electoral system and strengthen the regional principle and could do it,” Raši said in an interview for TASR TV 8 April.
According to Hrabka he was The system of several constituencies, which was canceled by the government of Vladimír Mečiar, more favorable for voters. Nevertheless, it does not expect the current system of one constituency to change. “One constituency means that the party chairman always decides and everything. Of course, no party chairman does not want to let such power from his hands, ”he said. In addition, according to him The existence of several constituencies could endanger the election results of the parties, that have few members or are weak in the regions.
Hrabko points out that The deletion of a single constituency formulation is not part of any draft amendment to the Constitution And if the government’s proposal were to be reached in the second reading, the chances of the success of this initiative are low. “I don’t think this will not come to the agreement,” stated.
According to Hrabka, the government’s draft amendment to the Constitution is currently being negotiated by Parliament does not bring changes that would be necessary, And it is rather a tool of political struggle between parties. In the second reading, it can also be altered on the basis of KDH proposals. “If Robert Fico decides, all suggestions can also go KDH. And it will bring another split between KDH, SaS and progressive Slovakia, ” Hrabko indicated.
Delegates of Saturday (5th 4.) 21. Congress SaS decided that the party will not go to the coalition with a voice-SD and a republic in the future. The possibility of coalition with Direction-SD, SNS and ĽSNS SaS has been excluded in the past. “Cooperation with those who do not want to work with you is easy to exclude,” Hrabko responded. He added that such declarations do the parties in time before the elections, but after them everything can be different. “It is similar to the promises that political parties give and then immediately forget when they take power,” closed.
