Families in need will be given €333 per child

On Wednesday, the coalition presented its own proposal to help families. Prime Minister Eduard Heger (OĽaNO) stated that families in need would receive €333 per child, emphasising that the aid agreed by the coalition is targeted to help those who need it most. Labour, Social Affairs and the Family Minister Milan Krajniak (We Are Family) said that the amount of €333 will be paid by the summer to 45,693 children who are in families in material need. According to him, it will be fast, because it can be carried out through a government regulation. According to the extra-parliamentary Voice-SD party, the government solution is a mockery of Slovak families and an incomparably worse proposal than the one that came from their party. The support proposed by Voice-SD was to target every child, not only those in material need, as the pandemic has affected all Slovak families.
