The shadow minister of labor and social affairs of the ANO movement, MP Aleš Juchelka, makes no secret of the fact that the recently approved pension reform is unacceptable to him. If he actually becomes minister next year (as current ANO preferences suggest), he will abolish the main parameters of the reform. He is particularly bothered by the reduction of valorizations and the extension of the retirement age. "I will want to return the proper valorizations to a level corresponding to half the growth of real wages and inflation. I have a feeling that if we cut them, people will fall," he says in the Crunch podcast with Čestmír Strakatý. He argues that the Czech Republic has reserves in pension spending compared to the EU and that the public is unnecessarily scared. But where can the income for a more generous pension system come from? Juchelka believes in particular in future economic growth and the reintroduction of EET. Why does he disagree with the increase in concession fees and what model of financing for ČT and ČRo is he proposing? How do you assess Andrej Babiš's statements regarding the Prime Minister's mental health? And why can the opposition sometimes be unconstructive?
