Progressive Slovakia criticizes the amendment to the public administration budget rules law, which the National Council of the Slovak Republic passed last week in an expedited process. The movement points to several negatives of the changes and the risk that the state will be able to spend reserves more easily. hnonline.sk ↗
PS representatives also criticized the manner in which the amendment was adopted. According to them, the amending proposal was submitted only a few hours before the vote in parliament. In addition to loosening the rules on budgetary provisional arrangements, the changes also bring other adjustments that the movement considers problematic. teraz.sk ↗
President Peter Pellegrini summoned Finance Minister Ladislav Kamenický in connection with the unexpected changes. He wants to be thoroughly briefed on the adjustments to the budgetary provisional arrangements pushed through by the coalition. The minister also stated that if the state budget does not pass, he will not resign. ta3.com ↗
The National Council is scheduled to vote on the 2027 state budget on Wednesday. The prime minister stated in connection with its approval that it is not merely a political issue, but also a matter of security. According to him, Slovakia should continue its policy oriented toward the four cardinal points and focus on diversification. teraz.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on parliament's vote on the budget and on the finance minister's explanations to the president. The changes to the budget rules remain the subject of opposition criticism.
