The three coalition deputy groups filed a proposal to dismiss parliamentary Speaker Igor Zorčič after he and another two Modern Centre Party (SMC) MPs left the deputy group.
The proposal, signed by all 38 MPs from the SDS, NSi and SMC, says that the National Assembly should meet to dismiss Zorčič tomorrow. At least 46 votes are needed to dismiss or appoint a parliamentary speaker in a secret ballot, which could prove a challenge given the current balance of power. New Slovenia (NSi) deputy group leader Jožef Horvat is expected to be nominated to replace Zorčič.
