Republic Movement

Uncommon card · No. 104905

The Republic Movement (Slovak: Hnutie Republika) is a far-right political party in Slovakia led by Milan Uhrík. The party is often regarded as neo-fascist, despite some political writers contesting this description. Founded in March 2021 by Uhrík and other former members of the far-right neo-Nazi party People's Party Our Slovakia (ĽSNS) of Marian Kotleba, the movement took over and renamed the existing party Voice of the People (Slovak: Hlas Ľudu) led by Peter Marček, which had only 50 members in 2018. Marček was later kicked out of the party. Due to the defection of former ĽSNS representatives, the party had five seats in the National Council of the Slovak Republic before the 2023 election. Uhrík was elected a member of the European Parliament for ĽSNS in 2019.
