Default #1 Kotleba – People's Party Our Slovakia Thread

The party enters the Slovak parliament for the first time with 14 seats out of 150. It gained 8.0% of the votes in the latest Slovak parliamentary election, from 1.6% in 2012. Note that the Slovak National Party also managed to find its way back into parliament with 15 seats.

Kotleba is headed by Marian Kotleba, who founded the Slovak Togetherness party in 2003. It was then banned in 2007.

Quote:
The People's Party – Our Slovakia (Slovak: Ľudová strana – Naše Slovensko, ĽSNS), since November 2015 officially known as Kotleba – People's Party Our Slovakia (Kotleba – Ľudová strana Naše Slovensko), is an extreme right-wing political party in Slovakia.[2][3][4] It is the de facto successor of the ultra-nationalist, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, and para-fascist Slovak Togetherness organisation whose political party was banned in 2006 but continued as a civic organisation.[5] Unlike its predecessor, it denies neo-Nazi links, but characterizes itself as a eurosceptic, nationalist party based on historical continuity with Slovak People's Party that ruled in clerical fascist World War II Slovakia. Party leader is Marian Kotleba, who was in 2013 elected governor of Banská Bystrica Region in central Slovakia.[2]
Since November 24, 2013 Marian Kotleba is the Governor of Banská Bystrica Region when he received 55% of the votes.
