The founder of SaS Richard Sulík leaves the party after 17 years. SaS stopped being the party of common sense and adopted the values of Progressive Slovakia according to Sulík. Sulík and Bittó Cigániková are in talks with right-wing populist Sme Rodina for the next elections.

If christian-democratic KDH and liberal SaS dont want to participate in uniting the opposition, they have no right to claim that they want to defeat Robert Fico, according to Vice-Chair of centre-right Demokrati Juraj Šeliga. Demokrati are open to joining an electoral coalition.

@SlovakiaElects Can you send me some sources for this? I don't want to believe it when Majerský is a progressive traitor.

Leader of christian-democratic KDH Milan Majerský refused liberal PS’ offer for opposition parties to form an electoral coalition. Majerský declared that right-wing and conservative values should not vanish so KDH will run alone as a conservative alternative to the government.

@Hokton4 If they all actually agreed to it, but only Demokrati seem interested.

@SlovakiaElects SDK 2.0?

MP Jana Bittó Cigániková was just expelled from classical liberal SaS. The leadership blames her for defaming SaS in the media and for sympathising with social-democratic Hlas and right-wing populist SR. Bittó Cigániková was the 3rd candidate on SaS list in the 2023 elections.

A third question in the petition, asking for early elections, was considered unconstitutional by Pellegrini. Centre-right Demokrati denounced Pellegrini for not admitting this question and also for setting the referendum date during the "summer holidays" to lower the turnout.

After reviewing the petition by centre-right Demokrati, President Pellegrini decided a referendum will take place on the 4th of July. Two questions regarding abolition of the lifetime "pension" for the PM and restoration of the Special Prosecutor's Office and NAKA were admitted.

Slovak March 2026 opinion poll average: % | seats PS — 20.3 | 36 Smer — 17.7 | 31 Republika — 11 | 20 Hlas — 8.2 | 15 Slovensko — 8 | 14 SaS — 7.4 | 13 KDH — 6.2 | 11 Demokrati — 5.6 | 10 ——5% THRESHOLD—— Aliancia — 4.1 SNS — 3.5 SR — 3.3

Branislav Gröhling solidifies his control over classical liberal SaS. The party congress in Bratislava decided that founder of the party Richard Sulík will not be allowed to run on the party list and his closest ally Jana Bittó Cigániková was removed from the leadership.

Slovak February 2026 opinion poll average: % | seats PS — 19.5 | 35 Smer — 17.5 | 31 Republika — 10.9 | 19 Slovensko — 8.8 | 16 SaS — 7.8 | 14 Hlas — 7.6 | 14 KDH — 6.3 | 11 Demokrati — 5.9 | 10 ——5% THRESHOLD—— Aliancia — 4.5 SNS — 3.7 SR — 2.8

Martin Dubéci (liberal PS) and Erik Tomáš (social democratic Hlas) both condemned the attack on Iran as a breach of international law. They agreed it shows the weakness of the EU, with Dubéci criticising the veto power of individual members and Tomáš the current EU leadership.

Left-conservative Smer will propose a law ending postal voting from abroad. It claims Slovaks abroad should vote in person at Slovak embassies and consulates to avoid manipulation. 61,7% of votes from abroad went for Progressive Slovakia; 10,8% for SaS and 6,1% for Smer in 2023.

🇸🇰🇮🇷 The attack on Iran is proof of the complete breakdown of world order and international law, PM Robert Fico stated. Fico claims that while the UN is impotent, Iran is significantly stronger than Venezuela and will resist the regime change operation by any means necessary.

🇸🇰 Slovak MFA condems 🇮🇱 Israel, but not 🇺🇸 USA, for striking 🇮🇷 Iran. "International law has suffered yet another blow," the Ministry claims. While denouncing the attack on Iran, it calls on "all parties" to exercise maximum restraint and prevent civilian loss of life.
