The Rural Party (Slovak: Strana vidieka; SV), formerly known as Party of Democratic Slovakia, National Coalition and National Coalition / Independent Candidates, is a Slovak nationalist political party founded in 2014 by the former politician of the ĽS-HZDS movement Sergej Kozlík. The party profiles itself in three pillars – national, Christian and social. Since 2024, the chairman of the party has been Rudolf Huliak. Before the 2020 parliamentary election, the National Coalition joined an electoral coalition with the far-right People's Party Our Slovakia party, but did not win any mandate in the National Council.
