The arbitration committee of the opposition movement Progressive Slovakia (PS) expelled former parliamentary MP Martin Pekár from the party's ranks on Friday. The decision was made after reviewing the complaints filed against him, which concerned the unclear origin of his assets and inappropriate behavior toward female colleagues. ta3.com ↗
Pekár's expulsion took place just a few hours before the scheduled party congress meeting, at which PS was planning to propose the expulsion of entire political parties, including Hlas, Smer, and SNS. As part of the expulsion, the movement returned to him all the gifts and loans that had been provided to him during his membership. According to available information, Pekár had lent the movement 440,000 crowns, which were returned to him. aktuality.sk ↗
Pekár described the PS leadership's actions as a targeted attack and spoke of lies in connection with the complaints that led to his expulsion. He also consulted about his departure with a nominee of Hlas – Slovak Republic. At the same time, the leaders of the opposition party, including Šimečka, were preparing a congress at which they intended to propose the expulsion of several political entities. Šimečka also called on another politician to transform his movement into a standard political party instead of its current form. aktuality.sk ↗
The case of Martin Pekár represents an internal political crisis within the PS movement and points to tensions between the party leadership and its individual members. Refresher.sk ↗
