Ljubljana – Coalition deputy group leaders have collected 47 signatures from MPs to urge National Assembly Speaker Igor Zorčič to step down. SDS deputy group leader Danijel Krivec said on Wednesday that should Zorčič not decide to resign by the start of next week, they will formally file a second motion to dismiss him.
Apart from the coalition SDS, SMC and NSi MPs, MPs from the opposition SNS and DeSUS plus both minority MPs have signed the initiative.
The first attempt to dismiss Zorčič after he quit the coalition SMC group to go independent failed on 30 March as only 45 voted for the dismissal, one too few.
