Czechia’s Explanation of Vote on the UN resolution – 18th of September

Czechia’s Explanation of Vote on the UN resolution regarding the advisory opinion of the ICJ on the legal consequences arising from Israel’s policies and practices in OPT, including East Jerusalem, and from the illegality of Israel’s continued presence in OPT. Stated by Ambassador to the United Nations, Jakub Kulhánek, on September 18, 2024

Mr. President,

Allow me to begin by reiterating Czechia‘s unwavering support for the people of the West Bank and Gaza in their pursuit of political aspirations for their own future statehood.

My country also stands ready to support any meaningful efforts to end violence in the region.

However, for these efforts to succeed, they must be the result of direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, as this offers the only viable path to lasting security and peace for all.

… and reform pensions so that most Czechs work until 68. This is the age in which most citizens are no longer fit and healthy. It is good to add that pensions in the Czech republic are ridiculously low, and the country spends a below-average share of GDP in the EU comparison.

What a shame. To appease the warmongers, during this time the Czech government raised annual military budget to match 2% GDP as they are planning to purchase F-35 fighter jets costing 100 billion CZK. The pension cuts will save them 19 billion this year.

Umstrittenes Gesetz unterzeichnet: Streit um Rentenreform auch in Tschechien

Die Regierung habe dies aber schlecht kommuniziert, so der Ex-General. Er verstehe die Einwände der Opposition, dass die Regierung das Gesetz in verfassungswidriger Weise durchgesetzt habe. „Und zwar aus zwei Gründen: wegen seiner möglichen Rückwirkung und wegen des fragwürdigen legislativen Notstandsverfahrens“, so Pavel.
