On Wednesday, the opposition party Freedom and Solidarity launched a nationwide petition calling on the government to reduce the excise tax on fuels. The party claims that this solution is more effective than exporting fuels abroad, and that it could help lower the high prices at petrol stations. The petition was presented directly in front of the Government Office building. According to SaS, lower taxes could also fill the state coffers better than the current system. hnonline.sk ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
Former chairman of the Freedom and Solidarity party Richard Sulík has definitively ended his membership in the party he himself founded, after 17 years. Sulík justified his decision by citing a significant shift in the party's values toward a progressive direction. He also announced that he is returning to politics and will run in the upcoming parliamentary elections together with MP Jana Bittó Cigániková, who was expelled from the party. The Sme rodina movement and other political entities are mentioned as possible options for the candidacy. Bittó Cigániková's expulsion from SaS significantly influenced Sulík's decision to leave the party. STVR (Spravy) ↗ ta3.com ↗
Political scientist Radoslav Štefančík notes that the departure of Sulík and Cigániková could either weaken or strengthen SaS, depending on how the party develops going forward. In response to Sulík's departure, the party pointed to current election polls, which it says prove that the new leadership's steps are correct. SITA ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
