Justice Minister Mária Kolíková (Za Ľudí) will remain at her post for now.
51 out of 117 MPs present supported the proposal to oust her, submitted by the opposition. 63 MPs were against, two abstained and one did not vote at all.
Kolíková has been clearly supported by Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), Sme Rodina and Za Ľudí. Some MPs of the biggest coalition party, the Ordinary People and Independent Personalities (OĽaNO), firstly said that she had not explained some suspicions related to the rental of the Justice Ministry’s building. In the end, only one OĽaNO MP voted for her removal.
