Election24: Communist Party Endorses Pellegrini in Round Two

Bratislava, March 28 (TASR) - The extra-parliamentary Slovak Communist Party (KSS) has endorsed candidate Peter Pellegrini in the upcoming second round of the presidential election. "Considering the possibility of political influence on the actions of Peter Pellegrini, who is open to reasonable arguments concerning Slovakia's interests, has political experience, a cultivated style of politics, as well as a more rational perception of foreign policy, international relations and Slovakia's place in them, we [KSS] recommend that voters should choose reason and support Peter Pellegrini in the second round of the presidential election," reads the party's statement provided to TASR by KSS head Jozef Hrdlicka. As for the other candidate in the second round of the election, Ivan Korcok, the party expressed an "unequivocal no". KSS supported candidate Stefan Harabin in the first election round, but he failed to advance to round two. zel/df
