Bratislava, December 2 (TASR) - A mere 11 legislators, including Parliamentary Vice-chair Anna Belousovova, were present in the House towards the end of the session on Wednesday.
"We have politicians, public officials, who are contemptuous of the public interest," said independent MP Gabor Gal in the near-empty House amid discussion regarding an amendment to the Constitutional Act that concerns protection of the public interest in the work of public officials.
As far as the remaining 10 MPs are concerned, only the proposal's rapporteur - Vladimir Missik (Opposition, SDKU-DS) commented on the initiative, pledging his backing for the proposal.
Another amendment to the same Act has been submitted by SDKU MPs Stanislav Janis and Jan Golian. "Both amendments aim at introducing a greater deal of transparency into property disclosure," said Janis, who proposes that local administration officials, too, be obliged to disclose their annual property declarations.
