Bratislava, June 13 (TASR) - The campaign headquarters of the ethnic-Hungarian SMK was dispeopling on Sunday early morning after the party learnt shockingly low preliminary election results that wouldn't let it into Parliament.
Most party representatives shut themselves in the entrails of the headquarters waiting for the final results.
The threshold to be reached in order to get into Parliament is 5 percent, while SMK had only 3.29 percent after more than one half of the votes were counted up.
SMK vice-chair Laszlo Miklos told TASR that he still believes that the party will make it into the legislative body. The results from the districts of Dunajska Streda, Komarno, Galanta and Nove Zamky in southern Slovakia will be decisive, he suggested.
