Jaroslav Kordek, a member of the OZ KOVO Council presidency for the Žilina region, pointed out that everyone in their wallets feels the rise in food prices, rising energy prices, the impact of inflation, changes in the calculation of the minimum wage, or the freezing of surcharges for night changes, Saturdays and Sundays.

“Slovak employees, young families and retirees are in danger of another serious, pocovid social and economic downturn. What should citizens live on? What do young people have to pay from? mortgagesWhat do retirees have to buy medicines and medical devices for? Slovakia is on the tail in purchasing power parity, does the government not see that?

“Although we are better at nominal wages – even at the minimum one – compared to last year, but in terms of purchasing power parity, ie what we can buy with that money, we are among the last. And that is not good, “added Emil Machyna, Chairman of the OZ KOVO Council.
