Deputies on Wednesday opened the first reading of the draft state budget for 2027. The document envisages a deficit of 386 billion crowns. In the initial phase of debate, the Chamber of Deputies decides on the basic parameters of the budget, that is, revenues, expenditures, the amount of the deficit and the method of its settlement. lidovky.cz ↗
The draft budget has become the subject of a political clash between the government and the opposition. Prime Minister and leader of the ANO movement Andrej Babiš and Finance Minister Alena Schillerová, also of ANO, are defending the draft budget. The opposition ODS, on the other hand, criticizes its parameters and claims that up to 100 billion crowns could be saved in state spending.
ODS chairman Martin Kupka described the draft under discussion as a "budgetary Armageddon." Regarding its drafting, he also said it "must have been put together by aliens." The opposition is thus questioning the way in which the state's revenues and expenditures were set, while government representatives are presenting the draft as the basis for the country's finances next year. idnes.cz ↗
After the initial debate, deputies will decide whether to approve the basic parameters of the budget or send the draft back for reworking. The outcome of the first reading will determine the further course of the budget's deliberation in the Chamber of Deputies. The key issue remains, above all, the size of the planned deficit of 386 billion crowns.
