Mečiar, three times Slovakia's Prime Minister, was perceived as an authoritative leader responsible for Slovakia's international isolation between 1994 and 1998.

According to Martináková, it is obvious that the SDKÚ and the HZDS are cooperating in parliament. Ironically, Dzurinda became Prime Minister after leading fierce opposition to Mečiar in the 1998 elections.
