Czech press survey - January 6

Prague - The Constitutional Court has become an aid of everyday politics of the opposition Czech Social Democratic Party´ (CSSD) that has not reconciled itself to that it was unexpectedly sent into opposition without a blackmailing potential, Martin Zverina writes in daily Lidove noviny today.

The party´s complaint filed with the court on Thursday targets 14 government reform laws that, the CSSD says, were not passed in parliament in compliance with the constitutional order.

Zverina writes that it is a pity that the CSSD consistently left out from the complaint the passage that proves that the CSSD deputies´ long speeches when the bills were being passed did not evidently aim at modification of the bills, but at simple delaying the deliberations.

The Constitutional Court is actually asked to decide about whether the opposition is to have the constitutional claim to blocking the functioning of parliament for an unlimited time, Zverina writes.

The Czechs who are now in their thirties do not definitely count with that they will start tending the garden on the day on which day they will celebrate their 60th birthday which is still a desired-for goal of many people who are convinced that they have an undeniable right to this, Pavel Paral writes in daily Mlada fronta Dnes.

The pension reform that is only the first and very small step in the right direction is already sending a correct signal to the public, Paral writes.

He says it is quite a strong signal about the state´s limited possibilities in the future that is not that much far away.

As soon as people reconcile themselves eventually to that they must think of their pension in their young days already and that their age starting with "six" does not mean that they are becoming old-age pensioners, there is no reason to be afraid of that they might spend their old age in poverty, Paral writes.

When Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas wants to create a mutual bridge of Euro scepticism together with his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban, he should also think of the possible impact, Julie Hrstkova writes in daily Hospodarske noviny.

Necas and Orban recently came out against providing a loan to the International Monetary Fund within aid to some euro zone countries.

Both the Hungarian and Czech economies are interlinked with the European economy which is actually proved by that the Czech crown is heading together with the Hungarian forint to the station called devaluation, Hrstkova writes.

She writes that it is never bad to recall where "we are and who finances us - the talk is not only about ´change´ from Euro funds. The rule ´you do not pay, you should not go too far´ pays now more than ever before," Hrstkova writes.
