BRATISLAVA - The election of anti-graft lawyer Zuzana Caputova as Slovakia’s president has boosted her liberal, pro-European Union party’s prospects in EU elections, against the grain of rising populism across the continent, an opinion poll showed on Tuesday.
Her Progressive Slovakia party, which will run in the EU election on a joint slate with Spolu party, saw their joint support double since February to 14.4 percent, an AKO agency poll of 1,000 people conducted on April 1-2 said.If successful, the PS candidates would join the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament while Spolu would join the European People’s Party .
Its leader, Marian Kotleba, had also run for president and together with another anti-system, anti-immigration candidate, supreme court judge Stefan Harabin, clinched 25 percent in the presidential election’s first round last month.
