“An arbitrary departure from case law.” Why a trio of constitutional judges rejected the pension verdict
However, the three judges disagreed with their colleagues and issued a dissenting opinion that sided with the plaintiff, the opposition ANO movement. What do Pavel Šámal, Jan Svatoň and Josef Fiala argue and where do they see errors in the government’s approach?Last June, pensioners received an extraordinary pension indexation, their pensions were increased by CZK 755 per month on average. However, if the original regulation had been followed, the increase would have been more than double. If the previous formula had been applied, the state would have had to spend over 19 billion crowns extra. The government has therefore pushed through an amendment to mitigate the increase in pensions in the extraordinary term.
