Monitor: 'Slovakia' Party Ready to Support Majersky in Regional Elections

(STVR, 'Sobotne dialogy', 18 April) The 'Slovakia' party is prepared to support leader of the Christian Democrats (KDH) Milan Majersky in the election for the post of Presov region governor, MP and 'Slovakia' party leader Igor Matovic said on STVR's politics programme 'Sobotne dialogy' (Saturday Dialogues), adding that they will definitely not support the "fascist" candidate Milan Mazurek (Republic). "Mazurek has a significant presence on social media. It will be an interesting contest," stated Matovic, noting that if Majersky isn't elected region chairman, the 'Slovakia' party is prepared to lend a helping hand to KDH. He also believes that these elections will be a referendum on the future of the Christian Democrats. MEP and chairman of the extra-parliamentary Republic party Milan Uhrik stated that he has a correct relationship with KDH. He regrets that the party continues to cooperate with Progressive Slovakia (PS). "As Christian Democrats, in my opinion, they should naturally gravitate toward patriotic conservative parties so that they can promote these values. They will never promote their values with PS," he stated. Uhrik's wife, Zuzana Uhrikova, will run for Nitra mayor. She's currently running for the Republic party, but Uhrik believes other parties will support her as well. "Negotiations are underway; we'll see how it turns out," he pointed out. am
