Deputies are again discussing changes to budget rules that the governing coalition wants to push through despite a veto from Prague Castle. The opposition criticizes the proposal and warns that it could lead to unlimited state borrowing. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The dispute centers on the budget policy of Andrej Babiš's government and Finance Minister Alena Schillerová. Opposition politicians recall Babiš's earlier statements on deficit spending and argue that the current government is acting contrary to what its own representatives advocated in the past. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Criticism is also directed at political responsibility for the state of public finances. The opposition describes the budget rules as one of the most serious issues of the electoral term because, in its view, they could influence how the state manages its finances in the coming years and how it sets limits on borrowing.
Further developments depend on the vote in the Chamber of Deputies and on whether the coalition manages to override the presidential veto. The budget rules thus remain one of the main points of conflict between the government and the opposition.
