Slovak parliamentary session interrupted by cake on podium

Parliamentary Chair Andrej Danko suspended an extraordinary parliamentary session until Wednesday morning in response to a protest by independent MPs, who placed a wedding cake on the podium and refused to remove it from the chamber. They told journalists that the cake was designed to symbolise a future coalition composed of Smer-SD, the Slovak National Party (SNS) and the far-right People's Party Our Slovakia (LSNS), namely the parties that intend to support the social measures recently adopted by the government.
