Speaker Kollár admits to beating his ex-girlfriend, but refuses to step down

Speaker Boris Kollár is facing calls to resign after his ex-partner accused him of knocking her unconscious more than a decade ago and he confessed to it.

The incident, preceded by a strong argument, happened in 2012 in a villa in Miami, Florida.

“She received a few slaps,” Kollár told the press earlier this week.

However, Kollár and his former partner, Barbora Richterová, provided different versions of the event.
