Labour Minister Marian Jurečka said on Wednesday that he does not intend to push through a rise in the pension age from 65 to 68 into new relevant legislation that is being prepared. He added that the age when people become eligible for the state pension should take average life expectancy, length of work and the nature of the profession into account. The statement came after he met with representatives of the opposition Freedom and Direct Democracy party.
The state’s pension deficit currently lies at around CZK 78 billion and the government is pushing through a change in legislation that would slow down the annual rise in pensions. A pension commission has been set up to discuss the relevant amendments and the labour minister stated today that it will be expanded to include representatives of opposition parties in the lower-house.

Czechia will not be able to rely on its underground water reserves as a source for its drinking water in the future. This due to changes in climate which are raising the global temperature and leading to less rainfall, Agriculture Minister Zdeněk Nekula told jounralists Wednesday, on the occasion of World Water Day. Currently, underground water makes up around 50 percent of the country’s drinking water supply, with water tanks ensuring the other half.
The Ministry therefore supports connecting public water pipes with water reservoirs and has spent billions of crowns on limiting the consequences of drought, Mr Nekula said. Over 2,300 small water reservoirs and ponds were also created.
