Coalition parties and "alternative" media have been successful in promoting narratives about corruption and the rule of law, an analysis by Transparency International shows. Fully 45% of Slovaks were persuaded that the risk of election rigging was real (43% disagree), President Zuzana Čaputová serves foreign interests according to 60% (36%), and the trial in the murder case of journalist Ján Kuciak was influenced by media pressure according to 57% (32%), according to an October Focus poll. The coalition will continue to clash with the mainstream media and support "alternative" views.
