description A summary of national politics in Slovakia during 2002 reports on the results of elections held 20-21 Sept & earlier changes in Parliament due to resignations or shifts in party affiliations. Preelection polls indicated a record low level of trust in government due to unemployment, poor living standards, inadequate health care, & perceptions of corruption. However, Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda & his Slovak Democratic & Christian Union coalition party managed to retain the highest number of parliamentary seats & cabinet posts. The unreformed communists unexpectedly made it to Parliament for the first time. The proposed program of the ruling coalition indicates a transformation into a regime as or more liberal than those of many West European democracies. However, the most serious political conflicts occurred within the ruling coalition rather than between the government & opposition. Disputes related to privatization of the Slovak Gas Industry & the so-called "Hungarian status" law are described, along with the disunity of the Slovak Opposition & a split in the People's Party. 3 Tables, 2 References.
