Wahlen: Regional- und Kommunalwahlen in der Slowakei zu Ende
Die Slowakei hat am Samstag gewählt. Die Wähler bestimmten ihre Bürgermeister und Regionspräsidenten. Erwartet wurde ein Signal für die Parlamentswahl in einem Jahr.
The regional and local elections in Slovakia concluded on Saturday evening without any significant incidents. Observers view these elections as an important mood test ahead of the parliamentary parliamentary election that must take place by autumn 2027. The key question is how strong the government party coalition led by the left-populist Prime Minister Robert Fico fares, and what result the liberal and conservative-populist opposition parties achieve.
While there are no official calculations, the final tally results from the electoral authority will be published on Sunday. At least in the mayoral election in the capital city of Bratislava, a decisive victory appeared to be the liberal incumbent Matus Vallo, according to an unofficial exit poll commissioned by the daily "Dennik N".
Bratislava, which is rich in comparison to the rest of the country, has always been a stronghold of the liberal opposition. In most other larger cities, the opposition is strong, while the left-populist and right-national government coalition dominates among the poorer populations in small towns.
