The National Council of the Slovak Republic began discussing the draft state budget for next year in Bratislava on October 7. Finance Minister Ladislav Kamenický came to present it to the plenary session. The proceedings began without an opinion from the Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ). teraz.sk ↗
NKÚ Chairman Ľubomír Andrassy stated that the office was unable to professionally assess the budget proposal. It was given only 48 hours to prepare its opinion, which, according to the office, does not allow for a detailed review of the proposal. The NKÚ is also so far unable to assess whether the legal rules were followed in drafting it. ta3.com ↗
Andrassy described the way the government and the governing parties approached the drafting and discussion of the proposal as unacceptable and contrary to the principles of a democratic state governed by the rule of law. The chairman of the office named five risks associated with the preparation and discussion of the budget in parliament. STVR (Spravy) ↗
The proposal envisages that public administration will spend almost 7.5 billion euros more next year than the state will collect. Members of parliament are therefore also discussing how to cover the shortfall in public finances and whether the budget will receive sufficient support. ta3.com ↗
Hlas-SD stated that the proposal contains its priorities and that negotiations with coalition partners were constructive. However, the budget may still change, among other things in connection with raises in teachers' and police officers' salaries. Parliament will decide on its final form and approval. STVR (Spravy) ↗

Minister financií SR

„Transakčná daň pre mňa nie je posvätná krava. Ak by na nej mal stáť rozpočet, som ochotný ju obetovať. Ale musí byť vykompenzovaná fiškálnymi opatreniami."
Minister financií krátko pred premiérovým oznámením, keď potvrdil, že koalícia o transakčnej dani diskutuje. Diskusiu vtedy označil za nafúknutú vec.
