Political novice and activist Zuzana Čaputová is on course to become the first female president of Slovakia — swept into office by public outrage at the 2018 killings of an investigative journalist and his fiancée
Michal Repa, her chief election strategist, said there was a yearning in the country for a fresh appraoch."Through focus groups and polling we discovered that, regardless of any policy disagreements, voters from both sides of the political divide were united by their utter distrust of politicians and their rejection of the grave injustices that overshadowed Slovak society."
Her victory is certainly a blow to the populist and vociferously anti-immigrant president of the neighboring Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman, who was vocal in his support of Šefčovič.
