Michalovce Mayor Announces Re-election Bid with Ruling Party Support
Share:
Miroslav Dufinec, the current mayor of Michalovce, a city in eastern Slovakia, has announced he will seek another term in office. His candidacy has received backing from both Smer-SD and Hlas-SD, two of the three parties that form Slovakia's ruling coalition. Smer-SD is the dominant social-democratic party led by Prime Minister Robert Fico, while Hlas-SD is a center-left party that broke away from Smer in 2020. The joint endorsement from both parties gives Dufinec a significant political advantage heading into the local elections.
