Czech ministers argue about 10% pay raise in public sector

The majority of Czech ministries support a proposal to increase salaries for certain public sector workers. I should grow 10% starting in September. However, concerns remain over the availability of necessary funds, as the Ministry of Finance warns of limited budget capacity. Czech Television reports that the plan, put forth by Labor Minister Marian Jurečka (Christian Democrats), faces opposition from the Finance Ministry, which has not endorsed either the 10% or a proposed 7% increase. The final decision is still under discussion, with opposition parties pushing for even higher raises.
