The Slovak National Party (Slovak: Slovenská národná strana, SNS) is a nationalist political party in Slovakia. It was founded in December 1989 and sees itself as an ideological heir of the historical Slovak National Party.

History

The Slovak National Party was founded in December 1989. One of the biggest events the SNS has participated in since then was the establishment of an independent Slovakia on January 1, 1993. The SNS had deputies in the Slovak parliament in the years 1990-2002 and since 2006. The party also had deputies in the Slovak government. Marián Andel, Jozef Prokeš, Jaroslav Paška and Ľudovít Černák were in the second Mečiar government (1992-1994), Ján Sitek and Eva Slavkovská in the third Mečiar government (1994-1998) and three SNS ministers were sworn in with the Robert Fico government on July 4, 2006:

Splinters from the SNS

In the years 2001-2003 (2004) and 2005-2006 there was a Real Slovak National Party (Pravá slovenská národná strana, PSNS), a party of SNS splinters. In 2005-2006, there was also a United Slovak National Party (Zjednotená slovenská národná strana, ZSNS), also formed of former SNS members. In February 2006, the two parties merged into the Slovak National Coalition - Slovak Mutuality (Slovenská národná koalícia - Slovenská vzájomnosť). However, only the Slovak National Party is currently relevant.
