Smer: Our Campaign Isn't Aggressive, But True

Bratislava, May 28 (TASR) - "Smer-SD's campaign isn't aggressive, but true, and the truth is hard sometimes," said Smer spokesperson Katarina Klizanova Rysova in response to SDKU-DS election leader Iveta Radicova's criticism of her party's new billboard campaign.
"On the other hand, it's hypocritical when a party that has set up a webpage called www.ukradli.sk (they stole) and claims that Smer-SD stole Bratislava Castle is accusing another party of aggression," said Klizanova Rysova.
Radicova on Friday said that Smer's new campaign insults SDKU voters.
The billboards in question have appeared this week, with slogans such as: "They robbed the disabled, they'll do it again," "They stopped the (construction of) motorways, they'll do it again," and "They sold off Slovakia, they'll do it again," Each billboard includes the appeal "Stop a SDKU-KDH-SMK coalition!".
According to Radicova, this is a dangerous game that doesn't offer any solutions for Slovakia. "We've been trying to bring up important issues in order to resolve problems that have to be resolved. After four years of great arrogance, we're convinced that it's time to start talking like normal people," she said. At the same time, Radicova said that SDKU won't choose the same path and won't insult the voters of other parties.
