Pavel strikes again: He called for the adoption of the euro

“If we want to play in the first league, it is logical to accept, for example, the euro. The experience of countries that already pay with it confirms that only those who don’t have it are dissatisfied,” said Pavel at the conference on Tuesday, who also spoke about the adoption of the euro in his New Year’s speech.

At that time he called for a discussion on the adoption of the euro, now he is talking about the need to adopt a common European currency.

The government of Petr Fiala (ODS) has not yet set a date for adopting the euro. “At the moment we do not have the opportunity to make such a decision, first we have to fulfill the Maastricht criteria,” said Prime Minister Fiala after Tuesday’s government meeting.

According to him, only in the next election period will the government be able to consider whether to accept the common currency or not. According to him, foreign companies operating in the Czech Republic can already pay their employees in euros.

Deputy Prime Minister Vít Rakušan, on the other hand, is promoting the opinion that the adoption of the euro is advantageous for the Czech Republic.

The National Economic Council of the Government (NERV) has already received February for the task of developing an analysis of the pros and cons that entry into the exchange rate mechanism (ERM) or the introduction of the euro would bring to the Czech Republic.

The Legislative Council, in turn, is to analyze whether it will be necessary to change the Constitution or change laws due to membership in ERM II or the Eurozone. The government should receive both analyzes by the end of October, after which it should decide on further steps.

According to Pavel, the entry of the Czech Republic into the Union twenty years ago was one of the most significant milestones in our modern history.

“This effort would not have a chance to succeed if it was not supported by the common interest to become part of the European family again. An interest that won the unequivocal support of citizens in the referendum,” the president recalled.

“Membership in the EU and NATO is the unquestionable basis of our freedom, prosperity and security,” he added.

According to Pavle, membership in the Union also brought prosperity. “For 20 years we have benefited from relatively richer countries contributing to our development,” he said.

However, according to the head of state, the benefits of the EU cannot be assessed only through money. “Together we are simply stronger, internally and externally,” remarked Pavel.

According to him, each country continues to determine its own identity. The Czech Republic shows that it can promote its policy through its munitions initiative for Ukraine. “We have gained attention and respect in the world,” added the head of state.
