Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) believes that the National Council (NR) of the Slovak Republic will approve an amendment to the Constitution of the Slovak Republic in September. He recalled that Parliament approved the necessary number of amendments filed for the government amendment on Tuesday. The amendment as a whole is to be voted in autumn.
“Today, 90 deputies of the National Council of the Slovak Republic voted for the agreed proposals. And I firmly believe that they will complete their work in September,” Fico stated, thanking all the deputies who supported the proposal.
He noted again that He knows only two genders, both man and woman and marriage as a unique union of man and woman. This is what the amendment to the Constitution of the Slovak Republic is about. “There is a real constitutional majority that can strengthen the traditional understanding of the family and a healthy view of the existence of two sexes in September,” Fico said.
On Tuesday, deputies of the National Council of the Slovak Republic voted only on amendments submitted to the Government of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. The amendment to the Act as a whole should be voted only in autumn. The coalition has already announced that the total vote on the amendment to the Constitution will move to the September meetingbecause the proposal does not have sufficient support from Members. 90 votes are needed to accept the change of the Constitution.
According to the draft amendment to the Constitution, two genders – a man and a woman – are to be anchored. It should also be added to the guarantee of equality between men and women in rewarding for work. The constitutional law is also intended to address adoption of children.
