According to Matovič, Slovakia is a strong country of strong people. He called not to slow down in the fight for a country where people will be able to live with a sense of the rule of law. According to him, we cannot be silenced by the “screams and squeaks of mafia minions”. According to him, it is necessary to take courage, but at the same time humbly keep your promises. Matovic apologized to members of the movement for being an “bullet on his feet” OĽANO when he was prime minister. He reminded that many times he had a personal desire to give it up. He believes that the partners will find more way to each other in the coalition.

In his speech, Matovič also addressed the person of the head of Smer-SD. He declared that Fico allowed the mafia to control the state during the Smer-SD governments. He criticized the fact that today he is roaring in the squares under the guise of the holiday of November 17, because according to Matovič he is afraid of his freedom. According to him, the OĽANO movement must gain courage and stand up to Fico, explaining the missteps of his government. He announced that extraordinary meetings of the National Council of the Slovak Republic would be convened, where they wanted to name the crimes that Fico had committed, as well as former Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini. Matovic also thinks Fico is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people who have died of COVID-19 because, for example, a year ago, people opposed the measures.

Heger reminded that Matovič brought several bold innovations into Slovak politics, such as a straightforward and bold fight against corruption, or a way of compiling a list of candidates. According to him, the OĽANO movement brought politics open to anyone who wants to enter it. The prime minister thanked the members of the OĽANO movement club for being stable, keeping his word and supporting reforms. He also highlighted the work of individual ministries. According to him, a pandemic is a test of humility because it calls for unpopular measures. He is pleased that the OĽANO movement is strongly behind the reforms.

Budaj called the OĽANO movement a bold political science construct. He also reminded us that today we are facing further revolutions, for example, a digital, environmental or revolution of new trust and solidarity awaits us. According to him, Slovakia today suffers from resentment, anger and freedom has become an opportunity to hate, humiliate, dehumanize. He called for the state to be not punitive but also in solidarity.

Matovič claims that at any time he can leave the position of leader OĽANO to someone with more support

Leader OĽANO Igor Matovič is always willing to dismiss his position as chairman of the movement to those who will have more support among the members. He announced this during the assembly, which took place on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the movement at the government hotel Bôrik in Bratislava. The meeting began at about 12.00, according to Matovič, the members had a long discussion.

“Every movement or party should constantly ask itself whether the person leading the movement is the right person. Self-reflection should be permanent.” Matovic said at a press conference. He will be happy if this issue opens on Wednesday evening during the ongoing debates in the parliament. “I am always willing to lay a seat on anyone else who gains more support among our members,” declared. He also added that the members of the presidency will not be elected unless the “fair discussion” in the parliament is over.
