New deputy group established by four former SMC, DeSUS MPs

Ljubljana, 26 March - Four members of parliament, including Speaker Igor Zorčič, will form a new deputy group in parliament on Friday after three of them parted ways with the coalition Modern Centre Party (SMC) and one left the opposition Pensioners' Party (DeSUS) deputy group. This is expected to lead to the appointment of a new parliamentary speaker.
