A new report today revealed that official state data contradicts the government's earlier claims of insufficient funds to abolish the transaction tax, highlighting a discrepancy in financial reporting.
In other domestic news, the Social Insurance agency is preparing to recalculate pensions, which could result in increases of several hundred euros for some seniors. Meanwhile, new research indicates a growing inclination among Slovaks towards a strong-arm government, with two out of three reportedly showing passive acceptance of autocratic rule.
Additionally, police have issued a warning about a new scam targeting the elderly, where fraudsters impersonate doctors to demand immediate payment for fake accidents involving relatives. Ahead of All Souls' Day, a psychologist also offered advice against telling children that deceased individuals are merely sleeping to prevent bedtime fears.
