A planned joint appearance by five opposition parties in parliament on Thursday, October 15, ended in dispute. In the end, only representatives of the parties Freedom and Solidarity and the Slovakia Movement took part in the press conference. Progressive Slovakia, the KDH and the Democrats did not show up. hnonline.sk ↗
SaS MP Alojz Hlina accused Progressive Slovakia of contacting the KDH and the Democrats with the aim of preventing their participation. According to the KDH and the Democrats, however, it was a misunderstanding. The Democrats stated that they learned about the joint press conference only at the last minute. SITA ↗
Originally, the parties SaS, Progressive Slovakia, KDH, the Slovakia Movement and the Democrats were to present a joint approach and send a signal of opposition cooperation. The topic was also linked to the planned Saturday protest at Námestie SNP in Bratislava. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The dispute continued even after the failed press conference. Hlina later explained his conduct and apologized for its form, but did not withdraw his accusations. MP Mikloško sharply criticized him in the subsequent discussion. Svoboda also spoke about the state of opposition relations, describing it as destructive. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The opposition parties thus continue to declare their interest in a joint approach, but their coordination is accompanied by disputes over the organization of public appearances and mutual communication. Further developments may show whether they manage to agree on a joint approach for Saturday's protest.
