potrebujeme

Potrebujeme is a Slovak political party founded in 2019. The party is known for its populist and eurosceptic stance, advocating for a more independent Slovakia from the European Union. Potrebujeme gained significant popularity during the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election, where it became the third-largest party in the National Council. The party's name translates to "We Need" in English, reflecting its focus on addressing the needs and concerns of the Slovak people.

The party's platform includes a strong emphasis on national sovereignty, opposition to EU policies perceived as detrimental to Slovakia, and support for traditional Slovak values. Potrebujeme has also been critical of the Slovak government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and has proposed alternative measures to those implemented by the government.

Potrebujeme is led by Richard Sulík, a former journalist and television presenter. The party has a relatively young membership and has attracted supporters who are disillusioned with the traditional political parties in Slovakia. Despite its growing influence, Potrebujeme has faced criticism for its lack of clear policy proposals and its divisive rhetoric.

In the 2023 Slovak parliamentary election, Potrebujeme again became one of the largest parties in the National Council, further solidifying its position as a significant political force in Slovakia. The party continues to advocate for a more independent Slovakia and has become a key player in the country's political landscape.
