The Socialists.sk (Slovak: Socialisti.sk) is a non-parliamentary left-wing political movement in Slovakia, which was established by registration on October 8, 2019 at the Ministry of the Interior.[1] The aim of the movement is to promote values based on social, environmental and peaceful pillars.[2] It seeks to bring a radical, left-wing democratic alternative to what it perceives as predatory capitalism, which it argues destroys justice, equality and life on Earth.[3] The current party leader is Artur Bekmatov.

History

[edit]

The movement was founded in October 2019 by left-wing activist and former presidential candidate, Eduard Chmelár. Socialisti.sk ran independently in the 2020 parliamentary election, but failed, gaining 0.55% of the vote. Subsequently, Chmelár resigned as chairman and in June 2020 the party assembly elected Artur Bekmatov as the new chairman, Chmelár remained the honorary chairman.[4]
