Opposition parties have filed a motion to convene an extraordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies, at which they want to vote on a motion of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. The motion was signed by all 92 opposition deputies from ODS, Mayors and Independents, the Pirates, the Christian Democrats and TOP 09. irozhlas.cz ↗

The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura, must convene the session without delay. The proceedings should take place next week, less than two weeks before the Senate and municipal elections. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗

Besides the question of confidence in the government, the opposition also wants to open the issue of the state budget. The motion comes after the opposition parties gathered the required number of signatures to convene an extraordinary session of the lower house. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

The vote will concern the government led by Andrej Babiš. From the available information, it is not yet clear whether the opposition has enough votes for the no-confidence vote itself, or only for convening the session. The outcome will therefore be decided only by the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies and the subsequent vote of the deputies. novinky.cz ↗

The political debate will take place shortly before the elections to the Senate and municipal councils. The session may thus influence the election campaign as well as further talks between the governing and opposition parties. lidovky.cz ↗
