Minister Kustec survives no-confidence vote in parliament
17. March, 2021
Ljubljana – Simona Kustec is staying on as education, science and sport minister as the National Assembly was eight votes short of voting her out of office. 38 MPs voted for her dismissal, while 41 opposed it after a 16-hour debate, which started on Monday and ended just after midnight.
Four centre-left opposition parties mounted the no-confidence vote over what they claim are her unprofessional and harmful policies during remote schooling, arguing she should have acted more resolutely to return children to school earlier than after around four months.
The Marjan Šarec List (LMŠ), the Social Democrats (SD), the Left and the Alenka Bratušek Party (SAB) also claimed that instead of taking action, Kustec had let Prime Minister Janez Janša take political decisions, which resulted in Slovenia having the longest school closure.
