Slovak Christian Democrats Split on Potential Coalition with Ruling Parties

Two of five deputy leaders within the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) oppose excluding future cooperation with Slovakia's ruling parties, including Smer-SD, Hlas, and the Slovak National Party (SNS). The internal disagreement highlights divisions within the opposition party over its strategic positioning toward the current government coalition. KDH, a center-right Christian democratic party that has historically been part of various coalition governments, now faces internal debate over whether to maintain flexibility in potential future political alliances or take a harder stance against the current ruling parties led by Prime Minister Robert Fico's Smer-SD.
