“The debate was quite thorough and detailed and I leave with a good feeling. I think we agreed that we need to reduce state budget deficits,” he said after the meeting with President Stanjura.
The head of the state treasury did not want to comment too much on the specific planned savings measures, as well as the pension reform, because the ministers will symbolically present them on Thursday in five minutes to 12, i.e. at 11:55. Stanjura wants the amendment to pass the first reading in the House before the holidays, at the turn of June and July. According to him, final approval is necessary by the end of the year.

The coalition of five last discussed the form of the consolidation package for about seven hours on Tuesday, but it was not possible to resolve all the disputed points. “We have a framework agreement, we will discuss some remaining details during the government meeting. We need a few hours,” explained the finance minister, adding that the coalition has already finished long and tough negotiations.
The government wants to reduce the budget deficit by at least 70 billion crowns. Since laws were passed this year that increase budget spending, the measures must be higher than the 70 billion.
“Each of those measures has some fiscal impact, whether positive or negative. They were made by experts, not politicians. We are ready to justify it,” the minister added.
