BRATISLAVA, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Slovakia's centre-right government won a parlimentary confidence vote on Tuesday, gaining a mandate for its plans to tighten fiscal policy and fight corruption.
Prime Minister Iveta Radicova’s government gained 79 votes in the 150-seat chamber, where the four-party coalition — which includes her Christian Democrats , another Christian party, a party of economic liberals’ and an ethnic Hungarian party — holds a majority.
The euro zone’s newest and poorest member pledged to cut its fiscal gap from 7-8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) expected in 2010 by 2.5 percentage points next year and below the EU’s 3 percent fiscal limit in 2013.
