Dispute over Babiš's conflict of interest joined by coalition criticism
According to a poll, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's ANO movement would win the elections to the Chamber of Deputies with 31.5 percent of the vote. ODS and STAN would share second place, each gaining 15.5 percent. According to the poll, the Motorists are hovering right at the threshold for entering the Chamber. idnes.cz ↗
The new data adds to the political context of the dispute over Andrej Babiš's possible conflict of interest connected with companies from the Agrofert holding and the proposed amendment to the conflict-of-interest law. Babiš rejects the suspicions, while the European Commission continues to withhold reimbursement of subsidies for the holding's companies. SITA ↗
Criticism of the current governing coalition of ANO, SPD, and Motorists has also been added to the Czech political debate. According to an opposition commentary, the coalition is pushing through steps that could bring billions in benefits to Babiš's businesses. This assessment is linked to the ongoing dispute over whether legislative changes in the Chamber of Deputies could affect the position of companies tied to Agrofert. aktuality.sk ↗
The Commission had already confirmed earlier that Czech authorities could resume entitlement-based subsidies for these companies, but it is not yet disbursing the money from the European Union budget. The reason is the ongoing review of whether Babiš's solution to the conflict of interest is sufficient. The State Agricultural Intervention Fund received confirmation from the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development that it is proceeding correctly in resuming the entitlement-based subsidies. aktuality.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on how the European Commission evaluates the subsidies for Agrofert and whether Czech lawmakers advance the amendment to the conflict-of-interest law further in the legislative process. SITA ↗
