Opposition Parties Criticize Government Support for Major Companies

Two opposition parties in Slovakia's parliament raised concerns about government assistance to major corporations during Tuesday's political proceedings. Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), a liberal opposition party, criticized government support for Slovnaft, the country's largest oil refinery owned by Hungary's MOL Group. Meanwhile, Progressive Slovakia (PS), another opposition party, questioned aid provided to Váhostav, a major Slovak construction company. The criticisms came as the National Council, Slovakia's parliament, held its regular session, with opposition parties using the platform to challenge the ruling coalition's economic policies toward large businesses.
