Mood is Boiling in MOST-HID after Partners’ Accusations

BRATISLAVA, December 10, (WEBNOVINY) — Following various accusations against the MOST-HID by coalition parties, its deputy club is boiling but the party does not intend to quit the ruling coalition. “Following various accusations by frustrated parliamentary deputies, there is a very bad atmosphere in the club. There is unease among the deputies. We decided to convene an unscheduled meeting of the leadership for Monday. After it the Coalition Council will sit. We will deal with ungrounded accusations against us. Also we have various indications. We could accuse anyone as well without proof. It is the best way to break up this coalition,” Bugar told journalists on Friday.

Bugar underscores that voters did not elect parties of the ruling coalition in order to resolve problems of abased and frustrated deputies. “We have to resolve pledges we gave to the citizens,” he said. „If distrust persists, in such atmosphere we cannot fulfill the government program statement. This what we are going to discuss. We will come with a proposal to the Coalition Council,“ added the MOST-HID leader.

Bugar said that in his party they are trying to convince one deputy not to file a criminal motion against SDKU-DS deputy Zoltan Horvath who questioned the voting of some MOST-HID deputies during the prosecutor general election. Bugar however did not reveal his name. “It would not be good if a coalition deputy had a legal dispute with another coalition deputy.” he said.

Just as Horvath controlled members of the SDKU-DS club during the secret ballot, also the scrutineers of MOST-HID controlled the voting of the party’s deputies. “We have not sank so low thus far, we can have any evidence, nobody believes it,” said Bugar adding that those who intended to vote for someone other than the coalition’s candidate are behind the accusations. “We are sorry about that. It is not possible to continue like this. We have to get rid of such atmosphere,” he said. He thinks that the coalition is strong enough to do so but has to act. “Four party chairmen and the prime minister have to find such strength,” he said.
