Progressive Slovakia

  • ... that the election of Progressive Slovakia's candidate in the 2019 presidential election was hailed by international media as a victory of liberalism over populism? Source: "the election in March of Zuzana Čaputová as Slovakia’s president was met with relief, if not outright euphoria, in most Western liberal media. The Financial Times hailed it as a veritable triumph of liberalism over populism. The New York Times and Bloomberg News reported it as a backlash against populism and a rebuke to nationalism. The Guardian praised it as a victory for progressive values, while the Washington Post claimed it as a reckoning for political strongmen, whose hold on power has an expiry date" Europpblog (London School of Economics)
    • ALT1:... that Progressive Slovakia gained support by campaigning against political corruption and clientelism? Source: "[Čaputová] ran for office as an outsider known for working to shut down an illegal toxic waste dump owned by wealthy real-estate owners with political ties, earning her the moniker “the Erin Brokovich of Slovakia.” This appealed to an electorate largely disillusioned with current political elites; all of whom are associated in some form or another with institutionalised corruption and political clientelism." Same as above. "Zuzana Caputova, a lawyer and political neophyte, leads the pack ahead of the Slovak election. Many of her compatriots hope she will clean up corruption" DW
