Slovak Opposition Parties Promise Tax Reform and Lower Social Contributions

Economic experts from two Slovak opposition parties, Progressive Slovakia (PS) and Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), outlined their shared reform agenda during a public debate, promising to unify tax rates, reduce social security contributions, and streamline administrative processes. The representatives acknowledged their parties have some policy differences but emphasized common ground on economic reforms. Both PS, a liberal pro-European party, and SaS, a free-market oriented party, currently sit in opposition to the ruling coalition led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD party. The proposed reforms represent an alternative economic vision to the current government's policies, though the parties would need to win future elections to implement these changes.
