Juraj Droba, chairman of the Bratislava Self‑Governance Region, said after arriving at the mayoral election centre that the city had been retained by the incumbent coalition. He was speaking in the wake of the Saturday elections in which the mayor of Bratislava, Matúš Valla, and the regional president defended their mandates for the coalition Team Bratislava, the Slovak Party (PS), Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) and the Democrats. “I do not want to comment yet on the mayoral elections, but it looks as if the result will be very similar to mine. So I can say that we have kept Bratislava,” Droba told reporters. He added that the four‑party coalition was chosen by Bratislava residents in “huge” numbers. According to Droba, the advantage for both the city and the region is that the mayor and the regional head can cooperate, a fact they have demonstrated over the past eight years. He contrasted this with other regions where the two managers “could not find a way, could not communicate.” Droba also welcomed the successful defence of the post by Milan Majerský, chairman of the Prešov Self‑Governance Region. He expressed satisfaction that the standard conservative Catholic KDH won the seat, noting that a loss would have been “very unpleasant news for the coalition and for the upcoming parliamentary elections.” In addition, Droba praised the victories of Erika Jurinová and Jozef Viskupič, presidents of the Žilina and Trnava Self‑Governance Regions, respectively. “It is a signal that we are doing well,” he said, adding that he had been surprised by his own unofficial result in the regional elections. Droba admitted that he had believed the previous election period’s result would be impossible to surpass. Article and image source: HN Online
