SaS MP Jana Bittó Cigániková Praises Boris Kollár's Change, Won't Leave Party

Jana Bittó Cigániková, a member of parliament for the liberal Freedom and Solidarity party (SaS), said she will not leave her party despite internal tensions and praised Boris Kollár for changing his political stance. Cigániková, speaking about the current political landscape, acknowledged that both Republika and Smer-SD sometimes make valid points, particularly when they align with her party colleague Richard Sulík's positions. She expressed a markedly different view of Kollár, the speaker of parliament and leader of We Are Family, compared to her past criticism, saying he has learned from his mistakes and now speaks differently than he acted when his party was part of the previous ruling coalition. While acknowledging that Kollár's transformation might be opportunistic, Cigániková said this does not concern her. She also suggested that SaS should actively court voters from the far-right Republika party as part of its political strategy.
