ANO escalates dispute with the Castle and searches for a presidential candidate
Babiš insists that the government must override the veto, otherwise according to him the state will not have money for the army or highways. The Prime Minister also described reducing the deficit from 310 to 150 billion crowns within one year as unrealistic and stated that the budget deficit for next year will be significantly below 400 billion crowns. The debate is supplemented by a survey according to which loosening of budget rules is supported by only 28 percent of Czechs, while opponents outnumber them by ten percentage points. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
In the case of January revaluation, Schillerová refused to state a specific amount and said that it would not be honest to create expectations for seniors. Within the ANO movement, according to earlier information, an increase in pensions above statutory revaluation is being considered, which is criticized by economists and the opposition due to the impact on state expenditures. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The tension between the Castle and the government is now also reflected in considerations about the presidential election in 2028. Within ANO and in Babiš's coalition, there are discussions about a challenger to Petr Pavel, with Schillerová's name also being mentioned. Karel Havlíček described her as a capable and extraordinary politician, while Radek Vondráček speaks of very poor communication with the Castle. Surveys at the same time show that part of the public perceives Pavel as the most prominent opposition figure. respekt.cz ↗
