| Popis | In November 2013 regional election—forth of its kind— has been held in Slovakia. In the run for the governor in Banská Bystrica region, the leader of extreme right LSNS Marian Kotleba placed second and got into a runoff with Vladimír Maňka nominated by SMER-SD who nearly crossed the electoral threshold in the first round which would ensure him victory. Despite the high margin between the two candidates, Kotleba was able to beat his rival and was elected governor. The presented study sheds light on the results of these election. It focuses on the structure of Kotleba`s support with a concentration on the presence of Roma minority in the region. |
