Former president Andrej Kiska will go to court to stop the payment of his lifetime salary. He has to decide whether or not he is entitled to the presidential pension. He informed about it on the social network, saying that he is concerned with principle.
“If Robert Fico (Smer-SD) and Peter Pellegrini, with a monthly salary of over 12,000 euros, take revenge on me for defeating Fico in the presidential election by not paying me about a third of their monthly salary, they are only confirming that they are not doing well for nothing more than to scare off all those who encroach on their comfortable life,” he stated Pussy. He added that he does not live off the presidential pension and does not even use the state limousine to which he is entitled.
The Office of the President of the Slovak Republic announced on Thursday that it has stopped paying the lifetime salary to former President Kisk since November. She did so on the basis of the Act on Salaries of Certain Constitutional Officials, according to which the right of the former President of the Republic to a salary equal to the salary of a member of the National Council of the Slovak Republic ceases on the day of his final conviction for committing an intentional crime.
The regional court in Prešov recognized Kiska as guilty in the tax case. For the continuing offense of tax fraud, he was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
