Irresponsibility and populism. The opposition criticizes the proposal to contribute to pensioners

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) spoke about the intention to pay pensioners a one-time bonus of 5,000 or 6,000 crowns in an interview for Saturday’s issue of Právo, on Monday he wants to discuss it with CSSD chairman and interior minister Jan Hamáček and then announce the result together. The Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Jana Maláčová (ČSSD) described the contribution as a veil, she said on Czech Television today that it could be paid even after 500 crowns for a period of 12 months. According to the Minister of Finance Alena Schillerová (for YES), there is a consensus in this year’s contribution for seniors in the coalition.

“At the next meeting of the Chamber of Deputies, we will propose a one-time contribution of one million crowns for each citizen. Given that populists and socialists have apparently invented an infinite budget, this should not be a problem and will certainly support us,” ODS chairman Petr Fiala commented ironically on twitter. .

According to the first vice-president of Pirates, Olga Richter, this is a random and irresponsible proposal. “You did not say a single source, a single income, with which you want to finance this,” she told Maláčová today on the Czech television program Otázky Václava Moravec. According to Richter, a similar unsystematic approach could lead to him not retiring in five or six years. According to her, there is a need to support, for example, women who have low pensions due to previous family care.

Jurečka: Help those who need help

The area bonus was also questioned by the chairman of KDU-ČSL Marian Jurečka. “Everyone can add it across the board, but what if you could help Prime Minister Babiš those who need it most of all seniors?” wrote on twitter. Among the people with “ridiculously small pensions” he named women raising children, widows and widowers. “Help those who need help!” he added.

According to STAN chairman Vít Rakušan, populist despair culminates. “Even the biggest veils will not obscure the government’s inability to think strategically and plan for the next generation in times of crisis,” he said on Twitter.

The head of the TOP 09 deputies, Miroslav Kalousek, called on taxpayers to respond to the government’s proposal in the elections. “I have a question for all of you who pay this government from your taxes and pay its debts. For those of you who are not anxious about whether you will have wages for your employees. For those of you who are afraid of work: How much will you improve? for Christmas? Answer the election, “he wrote on twitter.
