People in Slovakia are suffering from countless problems.

In addition to coalition wrangling and unfulfilled promises, it is also the most common price to make everything that is important for everyday life more expensive. Government ministers are probably not paying much attention to prices, because they are not very worried about high salaries. However, they affect ordinary citizens all the more. They're getting deeper and deeper into wallets. The sad and the warning is that prices of basic foods are quietly rising. In the last parliamentary term, the Slovak National Party proposed a levy on retail chains. In doing so, she wanted to create better opportunities for Slovak manufacturers and the offer of quality domestic products. The opposition immediately triggered a shout-out that angered officials in Brussels. They acted quickly and reassfully. The result – the supermarket chains won and Slovakia had to give in to pressure from the European Commission. Our MEPs have remained silent or acted against our own interests. Almost as they do now. During the pandemic, the current government closed small shops, but left large chains open. They are benefiting again from the whole situation. Their profits climb to dizzying heights and export them to their mother countries. Instead of some aliquoised part remaining in Slovakia.Prices of bread, milk, meat and other basic foods increase by tens of cents from week to week. Food was 4.3% more expensive in September compared with last year, and the trend continues. Fruits and vegetables have also become more expensive. By next year, their price could rise by up to 6%, which will particularly affect the elderly and low-income people. The government is also announcing an increase in gas, electricity and fuel prices. They are already attacking a level we never dreamed of in the past.  Analysts say that the highest price increase should be achieved in April 2022.The Slovak National Party asks what is ready for citizens to compensate for the rising cost of living. Responsible ministers – finance and the economy are silent. In doing so, they have the largest package of funds that governments have ever had since the establishment of Slovakia.           The enormous price of making ministers more expensive probably doesn't bother enough. For them, the empty promises they make in the media are far more important. However, the actions are lacking. For this, many still enjoy frog wars and political mantras about empty pantry and the like. But people don't eat out of it. And their patience has its limits, too. Declining, barely 15 per cent confidence in the government makes this clear.
