Talk:OĽaNO and Friends

Deleting/Renaming the article
Ordinary People, Independent Candidates, NOVA, Free and Responsible, Pačivale Roma, Magyar Szívek (OĽaNO and Friends) is indeed an electoral platform—but constituted as an instrumental political party. In the 2016 and 2020 parliamentary election, the party integrated members of several minor parties within its list, not legally forming a coalition to avoid the imposed increased electoral threshold. For the 2023 elections, the party legally changed its name before the election to represent its internal factions and to integrate NOVA members within its list. Formally and practically, it is still an instrumental political party.

The OĽaNO and Friends party has decided to legally form a coalition with the Christian Union and For the people party. Therefore, this article should be deleted—we already have an original page about this instrumental political party—or it should be renamed to correspond to the name of the legal electoral coalition OĽaNO and Friends–Christian Union–For the People.

I am attaching links to the official website of the Ministry of the Interior of Slovakia.
