According to the ODS economic expert, households will be better off this year. The rapid inflation was tamed, although consumption also increased. We can see from the results that household consumption will grow. Even thanks to the fact that the government took a lot of social measures, we managed the economic situation, Skopeek declared in the discussion.
Optimism can also be derived from the fact that inflation is still at its two percent target. Double-digit inflation is something that has brought the Czech Republic economically. We have been very responsible since the time of Alois Ran, he added.
He told his opponent in the debate that he and his party were killing people. You have talked here repeatedly about the fact that there will be social disruption. But nothing of the sort happened, and the people got over it. You predicted that companies would fail. Even when things were going well for them, Etz’s bankruptcy did not happen, he turned to SPD MP Skopeek. He criticized pessimism and trying to squeeze as many political points out of it as straw from a shoe.
Hrn responded by saying that people don’t really have time. We definitely didn’t let anyone down. Last year, however, 273,000 entrepreneurs closed their business. This is the longest in the history of the Czech Republic. Mr. Skopeek doesn’t know that we are in a recession and that we are the only economy in the European Union that has not been able to move forward, said Hrn.
According to SPD MP Skopeek, the current situation is worsening. The impact will be negative and the economy is not doing well. You’re bragging here that you’ve made it long. But it’s the other way around, added Hrn. He accused the government of having pumped out EZ and because of this, the largest Czech energy company does not have enough funds
The Speaker of the House also objected to the accused Hrne. According to his words, he does not claim that people are doing great these days. I know it could be better. In pessimism and painting, there is an attempt to make political points out of this darkness. You want to get out of it. For example, you know for a long time that the vast majority of those completed activities were only formal. So it is not true that 273 thousand entrepreneurs and their businesses would die. You know it well and you still hate it, said Skopeek.
He also talked about Czech-Slovak relations and, in particular, the current presidential election in Slovakia. Former foreign minister Ivan Korok and former prime minister Peter Pellegrini, who has no influence on Czech-Slovak relations, advanced to the second round, and both will win, Skopeek concluded the debate.
