Marek Hattas

He has been mayor of Nitra since 2018. He is named among the possible contenders for the 2026 Nitra mayoral election.

Career

The Slovak Wikipedia says Hattas attended a secondary technical school in Nitra and studied applied informatics at Masaryk University in Brno, leaving after two years. He founded and directed the independent cultural centre Hidepark Nitra, joined the Za ľudí party in 2019 and founded Tím Kraj Nitra in 2022. He was elected mayor of Nitra in 2018, succeeding Jozef Dvonč, and in the 2020 parliamentary election he stood tenth on the Za ľudí list and received 4,696 preference votes.

Positions

In October 2022, when he sought a second term, TASR reported that Hattas described his goal as a modern, safe and ecological city. His programme included 30 kilometres of new cycle paths by 2030, a zero-waste strategy, tree planting and park renewal, insulating municipal buildings and installing solar panels, reviving the pedestrian zone, community centres, and support for seniors and vulnerable residents.
