BRATISLAVA - Voters look poised to oust the center-left Smer party that has dominated Slovakia’s political landscape for more than a decade in a national election on Saturday overshadowed by anger over high-level graft.
OLANO founder and leader Igor Matovic has pledged to clean up Slovak politics, an ambition encapsulated in his party’s slogan: “Let’s Beat the Mafia Together”. An investigation unearthed communications between a businessman now on trial for ordering the hit and politicians and judicial officials. He has denied the charges.
Matovic, 46, told Reuters last week he wanted to be a conciliatory voice toward the EU within Visegrad. Smer was seen scoring its worst result since 2002, although it might still end up as the biggest party. Its nationalist and Hungarian minority allies faced the threat of dropping out of parliament.
