News item: Ruling Smer party MEP Monika Be"ova unlikely to be re-elected party vice-chair during weekend congress.

Fico vs MeeiarBy Dag DaniS Ahead of Smers weekend congress, the cards are already on the table.

Monika Be"ova-FlaSikova is finished as a member of the party management.

On the other hand, the Fico political wing will be strengthened, as Culture Minister Marek Maiarie should join Deputy PM DuSan Eaplovie in the inner circle with Fico.

The strengthening of the political/ideological wing at the expense of the business group in Smer does not mean that Smer will now be flying its socialist colours more openly, however.

The partys nationalist strain will instead be buttressed.
