Bratislava, December 30 (TASR) - Looking back at the outgoing year, the leader of the strongest opposition party SDKU-DS and two-times premier Mikulas Dzurinda bemoaned the fact that not only did the current government spend what it found on the table but also put people heavily in debt.
"It throws money around in an unheard-of manner ... The bad news is the unreal corruption that has taken hold here. More bad news is the army of unemployed," said Dzurinda, pointing to the advancement of Slovakia's football team to the next year's World Cup in South Africa as the good news.
The SDKU chairman divulged that in the first half of the year prior to the parliamentary elections his party will unveil new candidates for its slate. His party is united and well motivated but has to beware of people such as former football referee Lubos Michel, who became a party MP in 2006 but then bolted without reason.
