The parliamentary committee has initiated proceedings against Ševčík due to his statement about menopause
The Mandate and Immunity Committee has initiated disciplinary proceedings against MP Miroslav Ševčík from SPD due to a controversial remark about menopause. The complaint was filed by Michaela Šebelová, head of the STAN parliamentary club, who seeks a public apology from Ševčík. The committee plans to invite both MPs to express their views on the matter. Ševčík's comment, made during a session, was deemed offensive and unrelated to the discussion at hand. While opposition leaders condemned his remark, Ševčík argued that it was an exaggerated issue and not directed at anyone personally. The committee also called for adherence to ethical behavior among MPs, emphasizing the importance of maintaining dignity in public office.
