Slovak Premier Faces No-Confidence Vote Over Plagiarism Charges
This article is for subscribers only.
Slovak opposition parties launched a no-confidence motion against Primer Minister Igor Matovic, saying he’s morally unfit to lead the European Union member because he plagiarized his university thesis.
Opposition lawmakers led by two former prime ministers filed a motion on Tuesday seeking the vote, which has to be held within seven days. The move follows a report by the Dennik N newspaper that Matovic plagiarized his 1998 university thesis and opposition criticism that Matovic is mishandling the coronavirus crisis.
