Progressive Slovakia Shifts Strategy to Anti-Corruption Focus After Poll Drop

Progressive Slovakia, a liberal opposition party, has changed its political strategy to emphasize fighting corruption after experiencing a decline in public support. The party's politicians previously acknowledged that corruption scandals and exposing government misconduct "didn't really work for them" as a political approach, even though they recognized that some opposition voters expected this type of politics. After months of rising support, the party's poll numbers stalled just above the parliamentary threshold about a year ago, prompting the strategic shift. The party has now adopted a more aggressive stance against corruption, using slogans like "Tick-tock, profiteers" to target alleged government misconduct, overpriced public contracts, and corruption scandals at various ministries.
