Bratislava, May 20 (TASR) - The Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) is still ready to take part in the announced meeting of the heads of the parliamentary parties in the Presidential Palace, KDH head Milan Majersky has said, noting that everything must be done to reconcile and reassure society.
"Now we must all start from ourselves and do everything we can to reconcile and reassure our society. Meeting at the same table and withdrawing controversial bills from Parliament is the least we can do as the coalition and opposition in the current situation," Majersky noted.
President Zuzana Caputova and President-elect Peter Pellegrini invited all leaders of the parliamentary parties to the Presidential Palace to publicly denounce violence following last week's assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD). Pellegrini reported at the weekend, however, that the time probably isn't ripe for the meeting at this time, with Smer vice-chair Robert Kalinak expressing the same opinion. Slovak National Party (SNS) leader Andrej Danko said that it would be false to say that the meeting would reconcile society. Voice-SD and the opposition parties, however, have expressed their willingness and readiness to attend the meeting.
