He informed about it after Monday’s meeting with the management of the Trade Union of Education and Science Workers in Slovakia (OZPŠaV). According to Pavel Ondek, chairman of the OZPŠaV, the announced protest has not yet been revoked. “Nothing has been agreed yet,” he said.

There is no need for dubious taxes on oil or alcohol, the revenue of which no one can predict at all,” said the Minister of Education. As an example, he said that Matovic announced that the oil tax would bring in 300 million euros and that his analysts say 25 million. “So the salary increase would be either 16.6 percent or 1.4 percent. Which is a significant difference,” he said. According to the Minister of Education, it is nonsense to refer education to dubious taxes on alcohol, tobacco or oil. “The Minister of Finance himself cannot estimate their revenue. The representatives of the school unions clearly confirmed today that they were informed by the Ministry of Finance that we already have a surplus of around 370 million euros in the state budget. The head of the education sector considers it unsystematic and irresponsible to first spend 1.3 billion euros on social packages, and then refer education to dubious taxes, “of which we do not know what they will bring to the state budget.” He pointed out that there was already enough overcrowding to increase teachers’ salaries. Matovic does not want to involve teachers in his political games The Minister of Finance does not want to involve teachers in his disgusting political games instead of raising their salaries immediately. This was stated in response to his proposal by the non-parliamentary party Hlas. “Igor Matovič is not a fighter against the mafia, but an ordinary burner. Making the increase in teachers’ salaries by their involvement in the fight against Richard Sulík is not only unacceptable, but extremely disgusting,” said a member of the National Council of the Slovak Republic and General Voice Manager Matúš Šutaj Eštok.

According to Hlas-SD, Matovič continues to divide the nation in an incredibly devastating way. “It involves all sections of society in its personal disputes, which should remain apolitical in principle. It tears people apart, abuses its position as finance minister, significantly exceeds all its constitutional competencies and is today the biggest threat to democracy in Slovakia,” concluded Šutaj Eštok.
