ANO wants lower house to debate higher energy costs

The opposition ANO party is seeking an extraordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies to address higher energy prices in 2024. The party has reportedly gathered the necessary signatures and will submit the request to the speaker of the lower house this week. The leading opposition party has criticized the government for failing to adequately respond to rising energy costs, claiming that the price rises will have a devastating impact on households and the economy. It wants to propose its own solutions to the problem such as using funds from emission allowances to cut energy costs .
