Slovak ex-Smer co-founder Zala launches new anti-fascist party

Boris Zala, co-founder of Slovakia's ruling Smer party, is forming a new party, Ľudskosť a prosperita, positioning it as anti-fascist and targeting voters of the far-right Republic party. He claims Smer betrayed social democracy by shifting far-right, a notable split within the country's political landscape. The move signals potential fragmentation of the ruling coalition's voter base ahead of future elections.
