Czech PM Babiš proposes 1M CZK bonus for second child, faces criticism

Czech PM Andrej Babiš floated a one-million-crown reward for families having a second child, a proposal that would cost tens of billions of crowns annually given ~30,000 second births per year. Critics call it unrealistic and fiscally irresponsible. The proposal signals a populist policy push ahead of elections, but its feasibility and political traction remain uncertain.
