	Slovak news: Smer changes direction on tax for rich
		THE SMER social-democratic opposition party is producing conflicting statements on who will be required to pay higher income taxes if the party forms part of the next government.
		Smer has long said it plans to cancel the flat tax of 19 percent introduced by the current Mikuláš Dzurinda administration, and to introduce a 25 percent tax on people who earn "high salaries".
		Even if Smer became a member of the next government, it is unclear whether it would be able to cancel the flat tax, as most political parties in Slovakia support the current flat tax.

	Xinhua - English (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Smer, led by Robert Fico, won the legislative elections with 29.14 percent of the votes, while Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda's Slovak Democratic and Christian Union came as the second with 18.35 percent, the results showed.
		Under Dzurinda's government, foreign investment flooded in and the economy chalked up a robust growth of 6.1 percent in 2005, but the free-market economy also resulted in a high unemployment rate and a widening gap between the rich and poor.
		Although ranking the first in the elections, Smer fell short of an outright majority, which means it has to strike a coalition to win a majority in the 150-seat parliament.

	BakuTODAY.net - Left-wing Smer party comes out on top in Slovak elections
		The left-wing opposition Smer party has come top in Slovak legislative elections with 29.2 percent of the vote, the Slovak Statistical Office announced, with votes from 99 percent of polling stations counted.
		Smer leader Fico will command 50 seats in the 150-seat parliament against 31 for the Slovak Democratic and Christian Union.
		Dzurinda was battling for a third term to continue reforms that have brought Slovakia strong economic growth -- at 6.1 percent the highest in central Europe -- but stubbornly high unemployment at 15.5 percent.

	Direction - Social Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Direction - Social Democracy (Slovak: Smer - sociálna demokracia) party - before January 1, 2005 called Direction (the Third Way) (Smer (tretia cesta)) -, often just Smer, is a political party in Slovakia, led by Robert Fico.
		The Party of European Socialists (with which Smer is affiliated) regards SNS as a party of the racist far-right, and it reacted to news of the coalition by expressing its gravest concern.
		The PES suspended Smer's membership on 12 October 2006 and decided to review the situation in June 2007.

		Smer - or "Direction - Social Democracy" - is running neck-and-neck with three centre-right parties allied with Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda.
		Smer's leader, Robert Fico, says he wants to reverse or modify a number of economic policies that have made Slovakia a magnet for foreign investment - but which Mr Fico says have exacerbated divisions between rich and poor in the landlocked former Communist country.
		A second option might be a leftist coalition, consisting of Smer, Mr Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia and the Slovak National Party.

		UNLIKE other political parties that provided workspace and refreshment to journalists covering the general elections, the winner of the June 17 elections, the left-wing Smer party, kept journalists waiting throughout the night on the pavement outside the party's headquarters with just five plastic chairs available for dozens of Slovak and international news people.
		Smer Chairman Robert Fico gave only one quote to TV crews.

		One incident that occurred in late 1986 that wrote off one of their aircraft, although an F-16A, was when a wild pig wandered onto the runway as the aircraft was taking off.
		SMER generally provide annoying end-opening boxes and this is no exception, so no easy made jig or place to put your spares while you are building.
		The lack of interior, or assembly progress painting information on the instruction sheet is annoying, but given that SMER seemingly has (again?) fouled up the USAF external scheme colour research, perhaps I am not too out of place suggesting we might be better off forced to do our own research.

		"Smer is preparing to solve these problems and will make system changes in the healthcare sector if the party is a part of the next Government after the June 17 general election," he declared.
		Therefore, it plans to approve a new bill on insurance companies, optimise the chain of healthcare facilities, and, meanwhile, it plans to forego a revenue source for providers by cancelling the healthcare user fees.

	Global Insight // Our Perspective
		Although public opinion polls indicate a strong lead for the populist opposition Smer (Direction), the actual results may be quite different, as recent elections have been characterized by a surprisingly low turnout and better-than-expected results for the ruling parties.
		In any case, public opinion surveys may not be the best predictor of the electoral outcome, as Smer’s actual election results have never been as high as indicated by opinion polls.
		In fact, Smer’s backing among voters who are sure to take part in the elections is estimated at less than 25%.

		None of those suspected of taking bribes have been punished and, at worst, politicians suspected of doing so were either transferred to other positions or had to leave politics.

	Slovak news: Political analysts explain surprising rise in Smer's popularity
		While Smer earned 29.14 percent of the votes in the June 17 elections, according to a recent median.sk public opinion poll 45.3 percent of those polled now support Smer.
		Gyarfášová said she believed the suspension of Fico’s Smer party by the Party of European Socialists (PES) will not have any impact on Smer supporters, who tend to identify with Fico's view that the European socialists punished Smer for doing politics for the people.
		The sociologist said Smer supporters are reluctant to admit that in working with the far-right SNS, the party breached the PES rules, or that Smer’s isolation could cause the isolation of Slovakia on the international scene.
