Socialisti.sk

The Socialists.sk (Socialisti.sk) is a non-parliamentary left-wing political movement in Slovakia, which was established by registration on October 8, 2019 at the Ministry of the Interior. The aim of the movement is to promote values based on social, environmental and peaceful pillars. It seeks to bring a radical, left-wing democratic alternative to what it perceives as predatory capitalism, which it argues destroys justice, equality and life on Earth. The current party leader is Artur Bekmatov.

History
