"The current Slovak Government has put forward a number of bills which undermine the constitutionally guaranteed independence of the courts and of judges. A constitutional amendment bill which aims to limit the immunity of judges is being put before Parliament without inviting prior comments and without having a specialist debate. Slovakia’s drift towards a deformation of democracy and the legal state is also evidenced by the fact that the President of the Supreme Court and the President of the Judicial Council have twice been prevented from speaking in a plenary of the National Council during debates on laws concerning the judiciary, including a law on the Judicial Council. The amendment of the Act on the Judicial Council has the aim of changing the composition of the Council even before the end of its proper term of office. The amendment of the Act on judges will increase the number of political nominees in selection committees for selecting and advancing the careers of judges from one to three. This is only part of a story which clearly shows how the current executive and government power in Slovakia is attempting to interfere with the power of the courts."@en1
