The Senate on Wednesday approved an increase in the parental allowance starting in January next year. The amount will rise from the current 350,000 to 400,000 crowns, and for twins and multiples from 700,000 to 800,000 crowns. According to the amendment, the change applies to parents of children born from January 2027. irozhlas.cz ↗
At the same time, the upper chamber called for the introduction of regular indexation of the parental allowance. Before the vote, the proposal was among the main items on the senators' agenda, and according to available data it was supported by 64 of the 76 members of the upper chamber present. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The Senate also approved changes to the so-called "super-benefit." From October, housing support is to be determined by individual districts. Single parents with children under fifteen will newly be added to the group of vulnerable persons. e15.cz ↗
The agenda also included the election of a member of the Czech Television Council. In a secret ballot, senators elected Tomáš Řehák, director of the Prague Municipal Library, who had previously served on the council before. He received 38 votes in the Senate vote and took the seat vacated by writer and publisher Jiří Padevět, who resigned to run for the Senate in the Prague Center constituency. lupa.cz ↗
The Senate also separately took a stance against the government's plan to change the financing of Czech Television. It described the intention to replace the current monthly fees with financing from the state budget as undesirable, lacking a coherent concept, and contrary to applicable European Union rules. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
