Slovakia's prime minister survives no-confidence vote over plagiarism accusations

Bratislava, July 24 (Sputnik) Slovakia’s Prime Minister Igor Matovic survived a motion of no confidence on Friday lodged by opposition lawmakers of the country’s parliament over alleged plagiarism in his university thesis.
The motion was requested by the opposition following reports alleging that Matovic plagiarized most of his thesis at Bratislava’s Comenius University in 1998. The prime minister confirmed on Facebook last week that he used works of other authors while preparing thesis, noting that he was not aware of any wrongdoing and could not say for sure how many pieces of the text were plagiarized.
Only 47 of the 125 present lawmakers in the 150-seat parliament voted in support of Matovic's resignation. The result did not come unexpected, as the coalition led by Matovic hold a majority in the parliament.
