We compare the documented positions of Kresťanskodemokratické hnutie and Hnutie SLOVENSKO on the 42 questions in the test, issue by issue.
In brief
How do KDH and Hnutie Slovensko differ?
KDH and Hnutie Slovensko part ways mainly on energy prices, social spending, referendums and EU funds. Hnutie Slovensko fully supports a legal cap on electricity and gas prices for all households, and KDH fully opposes it. Hnutie Slovensko also supports keeping social and family benefits if taxes have to rise to pay for them, making a referendum valid when fewer than half of voters take part and letting the EU freeze funds for countries that do not respect the rule of law; KDH opposes all three. Hnutie Slovensko fully supports resuming state military aid to Ukraine; KDH is neutral. They agree on much else: both support re-establishing the Office of the Special Prosecutor and Ukraine joining the EU once it meets the conditions, and both fully oppose stricter state oversight of NGOs funded from abroad and leaving NATO.
