The consolidation package is bad because it has a bad structure, does not support growth and reduces our competitiveness. These are the words of Ivan Mikloš, who as finance minister was able to come up with large-scale recovery measures. The government should start implementing address assistance and not just talk about it. According to Ivan Mikloš, examples can easily be found abroad, "it's not about reinventing the wheel or about physics". Likewise, the cabinet should have easily identifiable groups at risk such as single parents and families with many children. Support can be implemented, for example, through a housing allowance. The government should immediately start focusing on advances in digitization, on the modernization of approaches in the public sphere, the Slovensko.sk application is far from sufficient, according to Mikloš, the government lags even behind Ukraine in this sector. Measures in relation to companies may force some entrepreneurs to register abroad. So far, the coalition has not tried to increase revenues with its measures, that is, to increase the pie from which it can then distribute. The news from the consolidation package and the missing pro-growth measures will thus reduce the possibilities of handing out. Healthcare is in urgent need of reform, at least in the form of completing the one from Rudolf Zajac's workshop. Changing the current operation of hospitals to joint-stock companies can help the situation, but it is far from enough. However, the challenges are not only in front of Slovakia, the time to take measures and catch up with the United States and China is waiting for the whole of Europe, which should start to act more united and coordinate more during changes. --- 00:00 The consolidation package is bad, it complicates the tax system 02:00 The government announces energy assistance, addressability has been talked about for years - but it is not physics 06:30 Address assistance, for example through the housing allowance 07:40 Pitfalls of consolidation 14:00 Strengthening the gray economy, the time of cash 21:00 Digitization in Slovak 25:00 Healthcare and its reserves 34:00 Distribution policy 36:00 Challenges for Europe and its competitiveness
