The text reads: "Gorillas are robbing Slovakia, while people are struggling to live on the minimum wage", "Don't vote for Gorillas, vote for people! People with the right priorities", "You are also part of the 99%", "99% wants a change for the better". This is a new party for the 2012 campaign with a middle-of-the-road populist campaign platform of fighting corruption following the Gorilla scandal. They seem to have lots of money to spend on advertising (it's anyone's guess where it comes from) but there isn't much substance to the party or its policies yet. Most of the people on the party list are unknown to the general public, though 99% says that is the point, to have a list of candidates who represent and understand the public's point of view. The use of the Gorilla theme in ads is popular with voters, and they may be able to sneak into parliament with around 5% of the vote simply based on their trendy name and advertising.
