ANO challenges government’s pension reform at Constitutional Court

The chairwoman of the opposition ANO party's parliamentary group, Alena Schillerová, on Friday filed a motion with the Constitutional Court to annul the government's pension reform approved last year, ANO spokesman Martin Vodička told ČTK. The text primarily challenges the continuous violation of the Chamber's rules of procedure when approving the law and the related violation of the opposition's rights, ANO said.

The party also challenged two substantive parts of the law. These are the increase in the retirement age above 65, and the failure to ensure a reduction in the retirement age for 108,000 people from the so-called third risk category.
