Progressive Slovakiaโฃ Gains Ground in Latest Poll,โ Coalition Prospects Remain Murky
Bratislava, Slovakia -โ Progressive Slovakiaโค (PS), led โby โMichal โคล imeฤka, has emerged as theโฃ strongest โคpolitical force in Slovakia, accordingโค to a fresh poll conducted by Focus for 360.sk,released today. The survey, conducted between September 10th adn 17th โwith a sample size of 1086 respondents, indicates a month-on-monthโฃ increase in support for the progressive movement.
While PS currently holds โขthe lead, the pathโ to formingโฃ a viable goverment remains complex.Smer-SD, the party of former Prime Minister Robertโฃ Fico, remains a notable contender, securing the โsecond position in the poll. However, the combined parliamentary strength of Smer-SD, Voice-SD (led by Matรบลก ล utaj Eลกtok), and the Republic (Milan Uhrรญk) falls short of โขthe majority neededโ to govern, currentlyโ projected at only 66โ seats in โthe 150-member National โคCouncil.
