Opposition Party Demands Withdrawal of SNS Tax Proposal, Warning of Higher Taxes for Businesses

The liberal opposition party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) has called for the immediate withdrawal of a local tax proposal submitted by the Slovak National Party (SNS), a member of the ruling coalition. SaS warned that the SNS proposal would result in higher taxes and increased bureaucratic harassment for entrepreneurs and businesses. The Slovak National Party, led by Andrej Danko, is part of the governing coalition alongside the social-democratic Smer-SD party and the centrist Hlas party. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions over tax policy between the ruling coalition and opposition parties, with SaS positioning itself as a defender of business interests against what it characterizes as anti-business measures.
