President Zuzana Caputova challenged the so-called anti-inflation bill, sponsored by Finance Minister Igor Matovic and passed by Parliament despite her veto, in the Constitutional Court on Thursday. As she explained, she filed a complaint to examine the constitutionality of the legal regulations and to suspend its effects. As the President added, she did not do it because she is against aid for families, but to make sure that the aid is targeted, timely and efficient. The President vetoed the legislation over provisions that introduce measures set to come into effect as of January 2023. According to her, there was no reason for these to be passed in a fast-tracked procedure. She also warned of negative impacts of the bill on the economic stability of municipalities and villages.
