Christian Democrats want to increase tax breaks for large families

The Christian Democrats want to increase tax breaks for families with three or more children, labour minister and head of the party Marian Jurečka said on Saturday at the party's program conference in Prague. He said that having three or more children is very financially demanding and added that although only ten percent of all families fulfil this criterion, they are responsible for raising 30 percent of all children.

Mr. Jurečka also mentioned balancing work and family life, the availability of housing, solutions to migration and security, and the environment and climate change as topics which the Christian Democrats will be focussing on in the coming months.
