Parliament Continues To Debate Pension Reforms

CZECHIA
  • Seznam Zpravy reports that the ruling coalition is trying to devise responses to Czechia's housing crisis ahead of next year's election. According to the newspaper, the KDU-CSL party believes that measures proposed by Regional Development Minister Ivan Bartos (Pirates) are insufficient and funding for housing support programmes should be increased in the next budget. This comes after reports suggesting that STAN have called for increased funding for their three ministries, illustrating understandable tensions over fiscal allocations ahead of the election year.
  • NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Foreign Ministers of member states will convene in Prague today to discuss security matters during a two-day informal meeting. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will hold talks with Czech officials on the sidelines of the event.
  • The Chamber of Deputies continues to debate the controversial pension revamp. SDP's Jan Sila was the first one to speak this morning and called the proposed reforms an "attempt to privatise the pension system."
