Slovak parliament fails to acknowledge ombudswoman's report for 2019

The Parliament on Thursday failed to acknowledge the Public Ombudswoman Maria Patakyova's report for 2019. Fifty law-makers voted against its adoption, while 34 MPs supported it and 46 MPs abstained from the vote. In addition to opposition MPs, the whole We Are Family Caucus and several OLaNO MPs didn't support the report. Only eleven from the 53-strong OLaNO caucus voted for the report's adoption. Several OLaNO MPs didn't support the ombudswoman's report for 2019, as she paid only marginal attention to the issue of delays in court proceedings and they also had a problem with her attitude to the protection of the right to life.
