Pirate Party says it will fight proposal to increase social insurance for childless people

The Pirate Party of the governing coalition has strongly rejected a proposal put forward by their coalition partner, the Christian Democrats, to increase social insurance contributions for childless people. They say the plan is controversial and unjust, since it would punish people who cannot or do not want to have children. Pirate Party leader Ivan Bartoš said that in his opinion the state should rather focus on helping parents with things like available crèches and kindergartens and flexible working hours.
