Minister Tomáš Pushes for Freeze on Ministerial Flat-Rate Allowances with SNS Support

Minister Tomáš announced his commitment to freezing flat-rate allowances for government ministers, stating that the proposal has received support from the Slovak National Party (SNS). The SNS, a nationalist party that is part of Slovakia's ruling coalition alongside the dominant Smer-SD social democrats, has backed the measure to maintain current compensation levels for ministerial expenses rather than allowing increases. The proposal addresses ongoing debates about government spending and ministerial benefits amid broader discussions about public sector compensation in Slovakia.
