Ferencak to Meet Voice-SD Leader Next Week to Discuss His Vision

Bratislava, 22 October (TASR) - MP and a member of the coalition Voice-SD party Jan Ferencak met party leader Matus Sutaj Estok on Wednesday, however, he told journalists in Parliament that they didn't have enough time and so are set to meet again next week to discuss Ferencak's vision within the party. "I had a meeting with the Voice party chairman, but his press conference had been extended, and both he and I had other work to do. But it was necessary to meet after all these months. He showed a willingness to communicate, which is very positive," he said. Ferencak announced that he's therefore arranged another meeting with Sutaj Estok. "We agreed that he'll set aside a few hours next week and so will I," he stated, adding that a discussion about the party's policies and direction can't be completed in five or ten minutes. So, next week the two of them will go through Ferencak's vision within the party as well as Sutaj Estok's stances. "Well, we'll leave it open because either our visions will meet and we'll go together, or they won't meet and we'll leave it to fate," said the MP. Ferencak was a critic of the situation in Voice-SD some time ago, along with defectors Roman Malatinec, Samuel Migal and Radomir Salitros. Unlike the other three, Ferencak remained in the party. At the Voice-SD congress in June he called for the party to engage in some self-reflection. am/df
