< Back PRESS RELEASE – Voter Preferences and Slovakia’s Geopolitical Outlook: What the March 2025 Data Reveals Mar 25, 2025 Shifts in Political Preferences and Geopolitical Attitudes Among Slovaks: March 2025 vs. December 2024 The latest analytical release from the Future Slovakia Forum titled “Voter Preferences and Geopolitical Outlook – March 2025” This press release summarizes a comprehensive analysis linking Slovak citizens’ political preferences with their views on security, NATO, and international alliances. Based on data from a March 2025 FOCUS agency survey, the report highlights how voters of different parties perceive Russia, NATO, Ukraine, neutrality, and military engagement. The results expose sharp divisions between pro-European and pro-Russian electorates, a growing geopolitical paradox among centrist voters, and widespread susceptibility to anti-Western narratives—particularly among supporters of SMER-SSD, Republika, and other populist parties. Key findings include: Over 97% of voters from Progressive Slovakia and Demokrati support NATO membership. 82% of SMER-SSD voters do not see Russia as a threat. Nearly 50% of all respondents support neutrality, while still favoring NATO membership. Up to 39% of Slovaks perceive the U.S. as a threat, especially among far-right voters. The report calls for pro-European political actors to step up strategic communication and mobilize support for Slovakia’s Western alignment in the face of growing radical and anti-NATO narratives. The full analysis is available through FSF, including detailed charts and party-by-party breakdowns.
