There is still much debate about the proposal from the Minister of the Interior Denisa Sakova.
The government may not finally negotiate a change in the election of the police president at the Wednesday session. There is still much debate around the proposal from Minister Denisa Sakova (Smer-SD), experts disagree with this. Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) said before the meeting.
"There is a lot of discussion about the proposal, experts say the adjustment is not good," Pellegrini said. Serious discussion with experts is, according to his words, about the duration of the term of office of the police president, the proposal counts seven years.
Nevertheless, according to the Prime Minister, the plan is that a new police president will vote for a new vote since January 2019. It will be enough to see this, because the parliament will meet three times before the end of the year.
Agreement of the Commission
The amendment to the Police Chiefs Act provided that the President would be appointed by the Minister of the Interior, but on the basis of a selection procedure and only with the recommendation of the parliamentary security committee. In order to appoint a police chairman, the selection committee, the Defense and Security Committee and the Minister of the Interior must therefore agree. Changes must also be influenced by the police inspection, the inspection service will be set up.
Contrary to the amendment of the law on the chancellery of the police, changes in the selection of constitutional judges would have to be approved by the government on Wednesday. "This adjustment is certainly better and creates stricter conditions for the election of constitutional judges than it is now, so it is definitely a step in the right direction."
The prime minister does not expect turbulent moments. "I think the government will have problems, we have gone through all the open questions of the coalition board and I do not think there should be turbulent moments," he said. No coalition partner says he wants to leave the coalition today.
