On Thursday, April 23, the republican council of the Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party unanimously decided to expel MP Jana Bittó Cigániková from the party. According to SaS, the reason is her long-term disparagement of the party in the media and her disagreement with its vision and direction. Cigániková stated on social media and before journalists that the party wanted to expel her for her criticism of the SaS leadership under Branislav Gröhling. Specifically, she accused him of the party blocking her resolution, through which she wanted to get the government to negotiate with the Holy See. Bittó Cigániková cried during her statement and admitted that it was difficult for her. SITA ↗ domov.sme.sk ↗

After the expulsion, party chairman Branislav Gröhling declared that Cigániková had only been looking out for herself and had disparaged the party. The party also claims that the MP fought against the exclusion of Hlas-SD from cooperation and that she boasted about a phone call with Boris Kollár. Cigániková had been a member of SaS for approximately 14 years. Her expulsion raises a fundamental question about the party's values, which had proclaimed freedom and criticism as its basic principles. Following this step, there is speculation about her possible move to another political party, potentially to Kollár. ta3.com ↗ dennikn.sk ↗
