Former Minister Jurečka criticizes the government's plan to reduce unemployment benefits, calling it a bad and erroneous step that, according to him, will worsen the situation for people searching for jobs and disrupt the positive trend in the labor market. (translated)
Unemployment support is not a reward for laziness. It is insurance for people who have worked for years, paid contributions, and suddenly lost their income. Most can receive it for a maximum of five months, and its amount gradually decreases. Higher support at the beginning gives people the space to find a job that suits them. (translated)
The government of Andrej Babiš plans to reduce unemployment benefits from 80 to 65 percent of the average wage in order to save up to five billion crowns annually, which could negatively impact the labor market and make it more difficult for people to transition between jobs. (translated)
The Russian spokesperson warned the Baltics of devastating retaliation for any anti-Russian actions, as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania continue to side with Ukraine, while the region faces an increased aerial threat and disruptions to airspace by drones. (translated)
The government approved a reduction in unemployment benefits starting in January, when their amount will decrease from 80% to 65% of earnings in the first two months and will be capped at 60% of the average wage, which has drawn criticism from the opposition, trade unions, and experts. (translated)
We handed over a country with 2% economic growth. With minimal inflation. With almost zero unemployment. Growth is expected next year too, so the government should continue the budget consolidation that the previous government started. Nevertheless, the current government is planning record deficits and breaking the rules. (translated)
Od Stanislavy Gabriel Waldštejn: "Vydržela jsem poslouchat jen chvíli. Opravdu jen chvíli. Vystoupení současné vlády, která vysvětlovala, proč má Česká republika hospodařit se schodkem 389 miliard korun. A právě tady se musím zastavit. V době nízké nezaměstnanosti a v situaci, kdy se české ekonomice daří, se ptám…Proč potřebujeme vytvářet dluh 389 miliard korun? Co za těch 389 miliard Česká republika skutečně získá? Protože ten účet nezmizí. Budou ho platit naše děti i naše vnoučata. Andrej Babiš při svém vystoupení působil velmi nejistě. Opakování slov, nedokončené myšlenky, málo konkrétních odpovědí. Je obrovský rozdíl mezi pečlivě připraveným videem na sociální sítě a živým vystoupením, při kterém musí premiér bez scénáře obhájit hospodaření své vlády. A od premiéra České republiky očekávám mnohem víc. Potom nastoupila Alena Schillerová. Ta má naopak rétoriku zvládnutou velmi dobře. Umí pracovat se slovy, hlasem i neverbální komunikací. Avšak dobře zvládnutá rétorika ještě není dobře zvládnutá ekonomika. Místo jasného vysvětlení současného zadlužování jsme opět slyšeli hlavně to, co údajně udělala špatně předchozí vláda Petra Fialy. A nakonec Karel Havlíček. Úderné věty, důrazný projev, obhajoba toho, co už zaznělo. Ale odpověď na základní otázku mi stále chybí… Proč se Česká republika v době, kdy se jí daří, zadlužuje o dalších 389 miliard korun? Nechci poslouchat další předvolební hesla ani nekonečné hledání viníků v minulosti. Chci vědět, co za těch 389 miliard dostaneme a kdo ten účet jednou zaplatí. Protože státní dluh není virtuální číslo v tabulce. Je to účet, který po nás zůstane." #ČeskáRepublika #ekonomika #politika
The Czech Republic is preparing for a budget with a record deficit of 389 billion crowns, which represents the second largest deficit in its history, although the economy is showing stable growth and low unemployment. (translated)
Kdyby mi Schillerová přinesla návrh rozpočtu na příští rok se schodkem ve výši 389 mld korun, do pěti minut by si balila talismany v kanceláři. Ekonomika roste, nezaměstnanost je nízká, ale schodek roste. Rozkrádají a zadlužují naši zemi po orbánovsku. Neuvěřitelní diletanti. https://t.co/YbUchk4L8R #ekonomika #rozpočet #politika
Finance Minister Alena Schillerová is proposing a budget with a record deficit of 389 billion crowns, which is the second highest deficit in the history of the Czech Republic, while defending this step with significant investments even during a time of economic growth and low unemployment. (translated)
389 billion. With economic growth, low inflation, and minimal unemployment. This is a political crime and absolute resignation regarding the future. For this budget, we will only pay 20 billion in interest. This will not only be paid by our children, but by all of us. Gifts are not free. (translated)
@alenaschillerov @ObranaTweetuje Rekordním zadlužováním se ještě ze žádné země lepší místo k životu nestalo. V době ekonomického růstu, nízké inflace a nízké nezaměstnanosti je takový schodek ostudný a nebezpečný. #ekonomika #zadlužení #životníúroveň
I had no illusions, but I didn't expect it to be this terrible. This is a deficit that would correspond to a deep economic crisis or the Covid epidemic. Yet we have growth and low unemployment. We are tunneling our own future. (translated)
Pay your contributions fully. If you lose your job, Juchelka will cut your support. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs wants to reduce unemployment support by thousands of korunas per month – saving 4.5 billion on people. Meanwhile, employees have been pre-paying for it their whole lives from their contributions. This is not an alms or a reward. (translated)
The article addresses topics such as the planned change in the level of unemployment benefits in the Czech Republic, the effects of the oil agreement between the USA and Venezuela on oil trade, and the increasing frequency of glacier collapses due to climate change. (translated)
The Ministry of Labour of the Czech Republic plans to change unemployment benefits starting in January, which would reduce the amount of benefits and save the state budget approximately 4.5 billion crowns, prompting disapproval from unions, employers, and experts. (translated)
Minister Juchelka announced a plan to reduce unemployment benefits from 80 to 65 percent of the previous wage in order to save up to 5 billion crowns a year, which has met with disapproval from the opposition and trade unions, who consider the step to be regressive and demotivating for job seekers. (translated)
A country where the government is preparing to abolish budgetary responsibility rules and, during a period of economic growth and low unemployment, is preparing a budget with a deficit similar to those from the Covid era cannot inspire much economic confidence! (translated)
The war continues to deepen the economic crisis in Iran. According to testimonies, shops in Tehran are stocked, but the problem is the rapid rise in prices, the collapse of the currency value, and rising unemployment. Rice is 60% more expensive than before the war, beef 150%. Iranians are increasingly limiting (translated)
Ekonomika šlape, nezaměstnanost je na minimu. Schillerová plánuje schodek na 350–370 mld. Procyklické utrácení v konjunktuře je ekonomický hazard. Státní dluh přesáhl 3,3 bilionu. Jen úroky stojí 100+ mld. ročně. Místo tvoření rezerv v dobrých časech projídáme budoucnost. #ekonomika #nezaměstnanost #státnídluh
