Regional party leader rejects support from far-right politician, backs Kaliňák against Majerský

A regional political leader rejected support from Marián Uhrik, a far-right politician, while stating that only Robert Kaliňák can defeat incumbent Prešov Region governor Milan Majerský. The statement suggests growing political maneuvering ahead of regional elections, with Kaliňák, a former interior minister from the ruling Smer-SD party, being positioned as the primary challenger to the current regional leadership. Prešov Region, located in eastern Slovakia, is one of the country's eight self-governing regions whose governors are elected directly by voters.
