Schiller criticized the provisional budget. The children will curse you for debt, Kalousek wrote to her<

Investment incentives for foreign filmmakers have been suspended due to the Czech Republic's budget budget, the E15 daily reported. The former Minister of Finance and the head of the ANO parliamentary club, Alena Schillerová, used this to criticize the current governing coalition. She allegedly drew attention to the effects of the provisional budget several times. According to Miroslav Kalousek (TOP 09), however, she is the culprit.

"How many times have I pointed out the impact of the provisional budget?" Now the filmmakers have bounced back. Who will be next, Zbyněk Stanjuro ?! ”Schiller asked the current head of the state coffers on twitter. It thus responded to an article in the daily E15, according to which the decision of the government of Petr Fiala (ODS) to manage the budget provisionally has adverse effects on some entrepreneurs.

One of the effects is, for example, the suspension of investment incentives for foreign filmmakers who shoot in the Czech Republic. Some of them allegedly went elsewhere. "As of January 3, no new projects can apply for film incentives," Helena Bezděk Fraňková, director of the State Cinematography Fund, confirmed to the daily.

Investment incentives are the main factor that has attracted foreign film crews to the Czech Republic in recent years. That's why some entrepreneurs are starting to have problems. "As a result, our company has lost more than $ 100 million in films to be invested in the Czech Republic," complained producer David Minkowski of the multinational company Stillking Films.

However, according to former Minister of Finance Miroslav Kalousek, Schillerová caused the problems. "There was no need for a provisional budget, Mrs Schiller, if you did not present a budget that would harm all citizens in the Czech Republic. Your children will pay your debts easily. The vast majority of other children curse you for their indebted lives, "Schiller told social media.

Dear readers, thank you. Thanks to you, we managed this in 2021

The Czech Republic has been operating in a temporary budget since the beginning of this year. Thus, in each month, individual chapters of the state budget receive money for expenditures up to one twelfth of the total annual amount in the previous year. The provisional department of the Ministry of Finance should last until the end of March and the state is ready for it, according to the office.

The reason for the provisional is the fact that the Chamber of Deputies did not approve the draft state budget by the end of last year. The previous government of Andrej Babiš (ANO), in which Schiller sat as Minister of Finance, proposed a deficit of 377 billion crowns. However, the current governing coalition rejected such a large amount.

"In the coming weeks, we will be preparing a new and better state budget with a deficit below 300 billion crowns with savings in the order of tens of billions on the expenditure side. After approval by the government, we would submit it to the Chamber of Deputies in about mid-February so that it would apply from April 1, 2022. Until then, we are ready to manage according to the rules of the provisional budget for three months, so the state will run smoothly, "he promised. Minister of Finance Stanjura at the end of last year.
