Voice-SD Welcomes Coalition Agreement on its 2026 Compensations Proposal

Bratislava, 14 August (TASR) – The party Voice–SD welcomes the coalition council's agreement on its proposal, prepared by Economy Minister Denisa Sakova, to introduce energy compensation measures for 2026 — set to benefit 90 percent of households, thus sparing them from a 30-percent increase in electricity, gas, and heating costs, the party announced on Thursday. „This is a fundamental foundation of our election programme, where we promised to protect people from excessive energy price hikes. We are pleased that we managed to push it through despite difficult circumstances,” the party stated. Voice-SD also stressed its ongoing commitment to protecting the most vulnerable. The preservation of people's social standards and the safeguarding of the second pension pillar remain key priorities. „In addition, we have opened discussions on extraordinary taxation of banks and the high costs of defence. Tough negotiations still lie ahead, but we will not retreat from our positions in the interest of the people,” the party added. mf/mcs
