Nor SMER nor HLAS are abbreviations but rather, as was was said in the video, directly translatable words.

This is Putin's servant, a traitor to his country.Slovakia will be frozen and ignored by the whole of Europe.Let's hope that someone will clean up this traitor and Putin's colleague as soon as possible..

an update for anyone wondering how this ended:
-SMER won and formed coalition with HLAS, however both parties stated that they wont disrupt Slovakia's relationships with EU and NATO
-Republika didn't get into parliament and SNS got in last place, meaning that pro-Russian sentiment is fading.
-PS ended second and tried hard to convince HLAS for alternative coalition, but HLAS decided to go with Smer, but threatened, that if Smer will turn anti EU, Hlas will leave the government and join one with PS and other small parties instead
-A four relatively uneventful years filled with enoromous corruption and some abuse of power, but with no big changes are expected until next election, where we will see if Slovakia will remain on this sort of new standard or try something new again as in 2020

I think some people can´t imagine that if the war between ukraine and russia will go further then slovakia would be another country in war (maybe) so I might say that is a reason why people choose smer so nothing like this will happen.

I can imagine a progressive party that would come up with a perfect plan to restore and save Slovakia, but those braindead monkeys would still choose a Smer because what if Jano and Maroš officially married in Šamorín, it would ruin their lives 🤣Let's preserve our values, which will subsequently destroy us because we think we can be self-sufficient…

FYKO!! It's Fee-tzoh. You should be more respectful towards politicians and maybe learn to pronounce their names properly, my high-horse riding EU funded puppet friend.

It's not spelled Fiko. It's FI (as in Fiasco) and CO (starting with C as in Cemetery). No pun intended but Pun there is anyways.
