According to an April poll by the AKO agency, the Progressive Slovakia movement would win the parliamentary election with 20.8 percent of the vote. Smer-SD would finish second with the support of 17.8 percent of voters. Eight parties would make it into parliament, while SNS, the Hungarian Alliance, Sme rodina and other entities would remain just short of the gate. ta3.com ↗
According to the analysis, without Igor Matovič's movement, the opposition would be missing just a single MP to reach the majority in parliament needed to form a government. The independent candidate Dan would only narrowly miss out on parliament, the poll suggests. aktuality.sk ↗
During the week, however, developments occurred that could affect the political dynamic. The Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party unanimously expelled MP Jana Bittó Cigániková. The decision by the party's Republican Council became all the more controversial given that the expulsion was proposed by her own party colleague Miroslav Žiak from Prievidza, with whom Cigániková had essentially had a friendly relationship. He later claimed they had parted on good terms. pravda.sk ↗
On Friday, the SaS party focused on criticizing the governing coalition. At a press conference, MP Mária Kolíková pointed out that the coalition is systematically attacking judges and trying to undermine trust in the rule of law. Kolíková was reacting to a decision by the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic and called on the Judicial Council to condemn the attacks by representatives of the governing power on judges. Minister Šutaj Eštok responded to these statements by claiming that Kolíková had abused her power. SITA ↗
