Interior Minister Roman Mikulec (OLaNO) will remain in his post, as MPs failed to dismiss him at a special House session on Friday. 52 MPs voted for his dismissal, 69 against, 14 abstained from voting and one did not vote. Most MPs of the governing coalition supported Mikulec during the vote, although several MPs from the We Are Family party abstained. The no-confidence motion in Mikulec was initiated by the opposition Smer-SD party. It accuses Mikulec of corruption and blames him for the situation within the law-enforcement bodies. The opposition repeatedly tried to hold no-confidence votes in Mikulec, but its previous proposals were always postponed due to the coalition's obstructions.
