SDKÚ's Martináková: "Mečiar is a man of the past"
THE RULING Slovak Christian and Democratic Union (SDKÚ) party, led by Prime Minister Mikuláš Dzurinda, has entered the official campaign period for September general elections with the public overwhelmingly blaming the party and its leader for the cabinet's perceived failings.Zuzana Martináková, 41, is the party's vice-chair and its top woman at number five on its list of election candidates. She admits that the cabinet, in which the SDKÚ held 8 of 20 posts, failed to fulfil several promises made to the electorate in 1998. She believes, however, that before votes are cast September 20-21, people will realize the cabinet did its best to achieve everything "within human power" in the broad-spectrum five-party coalition.A former correspondent for the BBC's Slovakia service, Martináková spoke to The Slovak Spectator on August 15.
