A new law recently passed in Slovakia will cut social benefits to people, mostly long terms or “low-skilled” who do not accept offered work. It was signed by the Slovak president, and will be effective from September. This is mainly aimed at Roma in settlements.
The kind of work offered is highlighted in the second article, where the minister of agriculture says that agriculture will greatly benefit from this law. Well, Fico and his government took example from Hungary, where similar ideas have been put in place. The effectivity of these laws is limited to say the least.
