LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), January 19 (SeeNews) - Slovenia s Democratic Party of Pensioners of Slovenia (DeSUS) and the Constitutional Arch Coalition (KUL) have withdrawn their motion of no-confidence against the government led by the populist conservative Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), local media reported on Tuesday.
DeSUS president Karl Erjavec withdrew the motion, because he would be unable to muster the support of at least 46 lawmakers in the 90-seat parliament due to COVID-19 infections or mandatory self-isolation, public broadcaster RTV Slovenia reported.
Parliament speaker Igor Zorcic cancelled the extraordinary parliament session scheduled for Wednesday to discuss the motion, RTV Slovenia said.
