Korcok Joins Progressive Slovakia

Bratislava, November 11 (TASR) - Former foreign minister and unsuccessful presidential candidate Ivan Korcok has joined the opposition Progressive Slovakia (PS) party, announced PS leader Michal Simecka on Monday. "I had many other options regarding what to do with the political capital I have. ... I didn't want to experiment. I want to support an entity that, in the next election and in the long term, will be a truly dominant, pro-democratic, pro-European, and modern force that will move our country forward," stated Korcok. Simecka highlighted Korcok's professional journey and moral compass. "He shares with PS a vision for our country — a vision of a modern, European Slovakia — along with a political style characterised by politeness, professionalism and a willingness to cooperate," he stated. tl/df/zel
