President Petr Pavel on Thursday vetoed the bill on state employees as well as an amendment that was meant to strip him of the power to appoint and recall the heads of permanent foreign missions. At the same time, he signed an amendment to the building act and a law restoring electronic sales registration. irozhlas.cz ↗
Pavel considers it essential that the extensive reform of the state administration was adopted without a standard comment procedure and sufficient debate. Regarding the changes concerning foreign missions, he pointed to an infringement on the powers of the head of state. According to the president, the amendment would politicize the state administration and limit the constitutional standing of the presidential office. denikn.cz ↗
Opposition parties welcomed the president's decision. The coalition, by contrast, called the veto an unnecessary and harmful step. Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said the president's decision did not surprise him and announced that the government majority would attempt to override the veto. Political scientist Aleš Michal described the move as a continuation of tension between the Castle and the government rather than an escalation of the dispute. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The signed amendment to the building act is meant to speed up and simplify construction permitting. Electronic sales registration is to be reintroduced starting next year. The president is also continuing his visit to the Karlovy Vary Region, where he and his wife Eva visited, among other places, the Thun porcelain works in Nová Role and also headed to the reliquary of Saint Maurus. lidovky.cz ↗
