SaS Lawmaker Admits to Messaging Opposition MP After Instagram Controversy

Martina Bajo Holečková, a member of parliament for the liberal opposition party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), acknowledged that she exchanged messages with Romana Bittó Cigániková from the ruling Smer-SD party. The admission came after Bittó Cigániková publicly revealed private communications, with speculation linking the messages to an Instagram satirical account. Bajo Holečková denied her husband's involvement with the social media account in question. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between Slovakia's ruling coalition, led by the social-democratic Smer-SD party, and the liberal opposition SaS party in parliament.
