Controversies Involving Pekár and Šimečka's Mother Damage Progressive Slovakia's Public Standing

Recent controversies involving key figures connected to Progressive Slovakia have worsened public opinion of the opposition party among its own voters, though supporters say they would still vote for the party again. The scandals have reduced Progressive Slovakia's chances of gaining new voters from other opposition parties. Progressive Slovakia is one of Slovakia's main opposition parties, positioned as a liberal pro-European force opposing the current ruling coalition led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD party.
