ResumoSlovak parliamentary election in September 2002 brought with it a few surprises. First, the Movement for Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) gained „only“ 19,5% of votes (comp. 1992 – 37%, 1994 – 35% and 1998 – 27%). On the one side Meciar´s HZDS formally won. On the other side it was not able to find some coalition partners and stayed outside government. Second, the election result of the new charismatic party Směr („Direction“) - 13,5% of votes, third place in election – was „weak“ too. The main election aim of the party leader Robert Fico - the office of the primary minister – didn´t work out as he planned. The situation resulted in opposition position of Směr after election.Third surprise was a very good election result (15,1%, second place) of the Slovak Democratic and Christian Union (SDKU). Thus, the leader of SDKU Mikulas Dzurinda could form relatively homogenous coalition government (with three small right – wing and centre – wing parties).
