NBÚ revokes Petr Mlsna's security clearance
The National Security Authority revoked the security clearance at the "secret" level of Petr Mlsna, chairman of the Office for the Protection of Competition. According to published information, the decision was made last week. Mlsna's six-year mandate at the head of the antimonopoly office is due to end at the beginning of December. novinky.cz ↗
The loss of the clearance significantly complicated his chances of defending his position. The government has already launched the selection process for his successor and, according to available statements, will have to find a new chairman within a short deadline. The reasons that led the NBÚ to revoke the authorization are not publicly known. ihned.cz ↗
Mlsna stated that the authority did not explain the reason for its decision to him. He claims that the revocation of the clearance appears purposeful and may be part of an effort to discredit him. He also denied that there was any compromising information against him. He described the case as an artificially created story aimed at stripping him of the leadership of the ÚOHS. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The decision has drawn criticism from opposition politicians. Zdeněk Hřib and Ivan Bartoš of the Pirates responded with calls for Mlsna's resignation. Political debate is now focused primarily on the selection of a new head of the antimonopoly office and on the circumstances under which the NBÚ revoked the security authorization. Neither the authority nor Mlsna have yet publicly provided a detailed explanation of the case. forum24.cz ↗
