Even after the second day of session, the Chamber of Deputies did not decide on the opposition's motion of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. A vote is expected on Thursday. The session began with approval of the agenda only after roughly fourteen hours of proceedings. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

The longest speech was delivered by Andrej Babiš, who spoke for approximately two hours. During it, he accused the opposition of using the session as a pre-election rally. According to the available account, his coalition also did not allow opposition deputies to speak. hnonline.sk ↗

The proceedings were also prolonged due to appearances by government members. On Tuesday, the session lasted seven hours, and according to the account, almost exclusively ministers took the podium. On Wednesday, the deputies opened the only item on the agenda, which is precisely the vote of no confidence in the government. The proceedings were subsequently interrupted again. teraz.sk ↗

The deputy chair of the STAN parliamentary group, Kovářová, rejected criticism that this is merely an opposition obstruction. According to her, the session makes sense and the reasons for convening it are serious. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová of the ANO movement also attended the session in the Chamber. irozhlas.cz ↗

Deputies will return to the actual vote on Thursday. The result will determine whether Andrej Babiš's government gains further support in the Chamber, or whether the opposition succeeds in bringing about its removal.
