At the beginning of the press, the Minister of Economy mentions ten sins of Robert Fico. The Freedom and Solidarity Party (SaS) will not support an extraordinary parliamentary session on energy prices. “Robert Fico is the last person to speak out on energy prices. I will not do theater with him in parliament. Our SaS party will not agree to this extraordinary meeting, “said SaS chairman and economy minister Richard Sulík at a press conference on Friday.

Sulík will also suggest to coalition partners that they not support such a parliamentary session. “Even if they do not agree, I will not attend such an extraordinary meeting,” stressed Sulík, who is convinced that it was during the reign of Robert Fico that the regulation of energy prices for business negotiations was distorted by its people. “We cannot influence the price of power electricity, which makes up about 40% of the final price of electricity. We know the price for electricity distribution, but it is high because Robert Fico’s governments left it here, “said Sulík.

“My personal estimate is that the price of electricity will go up by 1.5 to 1.7 cents per kilowatt hour,” he estimated the increase in electricity prices. In terms of this, it will increase the price of electricity by 3.5 euros for an ordinary family, which consumes about 200 megawatt hours per month, says Sulík.

The Office for the Regulation of Network Industries announced at the end of July that final electricity prices for households could increase by up to 15%. This is mainly due to more expensive electricity in the markets. However, the regulatory authority is already working on measures to significantly reduce energy prices. The opposition has already proposed to hold an extraordinary parliamentary session on energy prices. The opposition thinks the government is not doing anything about it.
