The text reads: "They sold out Slovakia, they will do it again!", "Stop the SDKU-KDH-SMK coalition!", "Vote for SMER - Social democracy". The Dzurinda government which ruled until 2006 created a business-friendly environment with a flat tax rate which rapidly accelerated Slovakia's economy. The effects of these pro-business policies finally began to be widely felt just as Robert Fico took power in 2006, and he quickly took the credit for having created the vibrant economy himself. As a populist party, SMER will always portray themselves as the defender of the common voter, while the pro-business policies of the SDKU (which many rural voters believe only benefit Bratislava) made an easy target.
