Motorists face declining support, Babiš relies on coalition majority

At the same time, the government is preparing changes that affect public institutions and employees alike. The coalition wants to abolish television and radio license fees and replace their financing with a different method. The proposal is set to be discussed by the Chamber of Deputies next week. idnes.cz ↗
Minister for Sport, Prevention and Health Boris Šťastný of the Motorists has also proposed abolishing sick pay for the first three days of illness. Both the trade unions and SPD reject this plan. Josef Středula, chairman of the Czech-Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions, said the unions are open to negotiating various options. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The government also endorsed a lawmakers' bill whose signatories include Andrej Babiš, Boris Šťastný and Petr Macinka. It would allow police to close, for up to 14 days, any premises handling a product that poses a serious risk to life or health. The measure is aimed mainly at the spread of synthetic drugs, but critics say it will not work in practice. denik.cz ↗
The coalition government is thus facing simultaneous pressure from the polls, controversial proposals, and criticism that it is failing to fulfill some of its pre-election promises. Further developments will depend on ANO's ability to retain the support of the Motorists and push joint legislation through the Chamber of Deputies. idnes.cz ↗
