Pavel meets ANO nominees to discuss economic, financial and social plans

President Petr Pavel continued talks with nominees for the emerging ANO-led government. Karel Havlíček outlined ANO’s economic strategy and long-term energy plans, including more nuclear capacity and the coalition’s intention to renationalise ČEZ energy giant for energy security. Alena Schillerová, nominated for Finance Ministry, stressed the need for a more transparent state budget and tougher action against the grey economy, including a new digital tax enforcement system. And Aleš Juchelka, probably the next minister of labor and social affairs, discussed pensions and social services. Pavel will meet the remaining candidates from ANO, the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party and the Motorists' party later this week.
