Beblavy: Matovic has set trap for opposition

The extra-parliamentary Progressive Slovakia (PS)-Together coalition has said it will not take part in opposition OLaNO's internet survey, meaning that it will not add any issues to the survey via which OLaNO intends to let the public decide its conditions for joining the next government. According to Together leader Miroslav Beblavy, OLaNO leader Igor Matovic "is blackmailing other opposition parties" when he calls on them to add issues to the survey. He thus called on Matovic to refrain from such behaviour, stressing the need to discuss the election programmes of individual opposition parties. Beblavy says Matovic has "set a trap" for the opposition by setting these conditions. "It's up to him to refrain from blackmail and hold talks with us either now or, if he wants to wait, after the election on how to draw up a real programme for a change," said Beblavy.
