Peter Učen: Approaching National Populism
Approaching National Populism In this respect, we would also like to draw an attention to the possibility of a tacit nativist consensus penetrating Slovak political establishment. Recent amendment of the law on citizenship, which instituted more restrictive formal conditions for conferring Slovak citizenship to applicants, such as the requirement of the eight years of residence, witnessed, for example, a joint vote of the SMER, SNS, HZDS and KDH in favour of restrictions.
