Smer chair Robert Fico announced on November 28 he would initiate an extraordinary session in the parliament to get Slovak investment gold back home from the UK. The session took place on December 4, 2019 in Bratislava (source: TASR)
Slovakia will not be transferring its gold from the Bank of England back home. The parliament did not approve the programme of its session, in which the investment gold was to be discussed.
“This is by no means a hot issue, not even a topic for an extraordinary session by far,” Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) MP Marián Viskupič said, as quoted by the TASR newswire. He admitted the topic is relevant, though.
Smer chair Robert Fico said on November 28 he would initiate the parliamentary session because there is no point in having gold stored in the UK, especially not in the times of Brexit and a potential financial crisis.
