Fractured Voices Emerge

Matúš Šutaj Eštok expressed concern over the actions of dissenting deputies, including Samuel Migal, Radomír Salitroš, Roman Malatinec, and Ján Ferenčák. They reportedly declined to support specific laws and criticized the coalition’s approach. Šutaj Eštok implied that this dissent damaged the party’s image.
