Movements · slovakia_radicova_sdku_2010_2012 Radicova SDKU-DS centre-right coalition 2010-2012 SVK · 2010 – 2012· SDKU-DS, SaS, KDH, Most-Hid
Leaders: Iveta Radicova (Prime Minister, SDKU-DS, 2010-2012) · Ivan Miklos (Finance Minister, SDKU-DS) · Richard Sulik (NR SR Speaker, SaS)
Doctrine — stated goals and content Four-party centre-right coalition succeeding Fico I, first Slovak female premier. Economic school: Slovak liberal-conservative reformism under Miklos (architect of the 2004 flat tax) — GFC-era fiscal consolidation, VAT hike 19% -> 20% (temporary, made permanent), PIT flat-tax defence, OFE second-pillar voluntarisation, anti-corruption open-contracts register. Coalition collapsed Oct 2011 when SaS refused EFSF/eurozone bailout expansion (European Financial Stability Facility guarantee cap from EUR 440bn to EUR 780bn); confidence vote linked to ratification, lost 11 Oct 2011, snap election Mar 2012 won by Fico-Smer. Left-right axis: centre-right. Dated policies: VAT 20% hike 2011, open-contracts transparency law Jan 2011 (Zakon c. 546/2010), EFSF vote Oct 2011. Popularity: declined after VAT hike and austerity; lost 2012. Coherence: low — four parties, SaS ideological break on eurozone bailouts.
Policy-content fingerprint — how the framework codes this movement on its axes ↓
spending level → fiscal.spending_level
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
decreased · moderate
lower spending share
Consolidation to EDP targets after -7.9% 2010 deficit.
↓
tax progressivity → fiscal.tax_progressivity
Progressivity of the personal income tax schedule, including top marginal rates, bracket spread, and targeted credits (EITC-equivalents).
decreased · weak
less progressive (flatter rates, compression, smaller credits)
VAT rate hike regressive; PIT flat tax retained.
↑
rule of law → institutional.rule_of_law
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
increased · moderate
stronger rule of law
Open-contracts register and public-procurement transparency strengthened anti-corruption institutions.
↑
financial deregulation → regulatory.financial_deregulation
Financial-sector regulation — banking separation, capital requirements, cross-border activity rules, derivatives oversight.
