President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini said on Saturday in the discussion programme Saturday Dialogues that a grand coalition of Smer-SD and Progressive Slovakia could benefit Slovakia after the parliamentary elections. He thus responded to surveys that suggest a possible stalemate situation after the elections. teraz.sk ↗
Pellegrini spoke about post-election cooperation between two political forces that are ideologically oriented in opposite directions. According to him, however, such a model would require a strong political leader who would be able to push through an agreement between parties with different programmes and voter bases.

The president also pointed out the state of political communication in Slovakia. According to him, political parties have not yet reached the point where coalition and opposition leaders would be able to talk normally about fundamental topics at the same table. His statements thus follow up on the discussion about what governance could look like in case the election result does not bring a clear majority. hnonline.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the election results and on the parties' willingness to negotiate broader agreements. Pellegrini's considerations also open up the question of whether a grand coalition in the Slovak environment would be able to overcome programme differences and political tensions between the ruling and opposition camps. pravda.sk ↗
