MPs were to debate at an extraordinary meeting of Parliament on Tuesday afternoon in a fast-track legislative procedure the introduction of the 13th pension payment, the increase in child allowance and the scrapping of motorway stickers as proposed by the governing coalition. The session, however, has been postponed until Wednesday morning after a few opposition MPs refused to leave the speaker's desk. The monthly child allowances should increase by € 25.05, and thirteenth pension payments should be € 460.40. Both measures are to cost Slovak taxpayers over € 700 million.
