“However, the adoption of the Euro is not a primary issue to us at the moment, nor is it part of the government policy statement. “The Civic Democratic Party has been holding open discussions on the topic of the possible adoption of the Euro for a long time, in which we see rational arguments for and against,” ODS spokesman Jakub Skyva told CTK. The five-party government coalition also includes the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL). The other supporters of adopting the Euro adoption, the Mayors and Independents (STAN) and the Pirates, say it is a long-term task to gradually explain to the public the benefits of replacing the Czech crown with the Euro. The junior TOP 09, which identifies itself as among the strongest supporters of Euro adoption, considers 2030 as a realistic date for the Czech Republic to join the countries using the single European currency. The senior coalition party, the Civic Democrats (ODS), formerly strongly Eurosceptic, now acknowledges an internal discussion on the issue. Prague, Aug 12 (CTK) – The coalition government parties do not agree on the approach to adoption of the Euro currency in the Czech Republic, which is expected to become a topic of the parties’ programmes for the parliamentary elections due in two years, according to comments of the parties’ representatives to CTK. 73% of the Czech public are against the adoption of the Euro.
