One year after early parliamentary elections, seven months before regional ones and a year before those for the European Parliament, the Slovak political scene is bubbling with activity, namely political divorces. A fight for the leadership in the liberal Freedom and Solidarity Party led to a split in recent weeks and Christian Democrats are losing members to two new platforms launched by two of their former leading figures. For years, political analyst Grigorij Mesežnikov has followed the development of new political entities.
Their rise was documented in a book called “Alternative Politics?”, which he co-authored with colleagues Oľga Gyárfášová and Zora Butorová from the Bratislava based Institute for Public Affairs. The book compares the situation with new parties in Slovakia with that in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.
