Parliament To Debate Pension Overhaul

CZECHIA
BulletEM BulletEmerging Market NewsHomepage
  • The Chamber of Deputies will today debate the proposed overhaul of the pension system, which would involve an increase in the retirement age in line with rising life expectancy. Attempts to defuse tensions and hammer out cross-partisan consensus on the matter failed as the talks brokered by President Petr Pavel broke down. The main opposition ANO and SPD parties have pledged to reverse any such measures should they manage to take power in the wake of next year's election.
  • Seznam Zpravy flags tensions within the ruling coalition amid preliminary talks on the 2025 budget. STAN are reportedly demanding a significant increase in funding for its three ministries (Education, Interior and Industry), with Education Minister Mikulas Bek threatening to resign if he doesn't get the requested CZK40bn increase in budget allocation for his ministry.
  • Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala hosts a dinner with the leaders of Denmark, Latvia, Poland and the Netherlands to discuss the delivery of ammunition and air-defence systems to Ukraine. The leaders will hold a joint press conference at 17:40BST/18:40CEST.
