Babiš faces criticism over unfinished laws and dispute with Pavel over generals
Videos
Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's government is facing further difficulties in pushing through its legislative plans. The dispute between the prime minister and President Petr Pavel over the appointment of MP Filip Turek as Minister of the Environment has brought the president an increase in trust from a third of the Czech public. According to a February survey by the Median agency, 34 percent of respondents reported increased trust in the head of state, while 30 percent of those surveyed declared a decrease. novinky.cz ↗
The government's foreign policy is already running into contradictions in the first hundred days of governing. According to critics, the Czech Republic promises support for Ukraine but is trying to limit financial aid. Meanwhile, the prime minister faces criticism for his inability to push through the abolition of emission allowances at the EU level. ODS MP Petr Sokol stated that Babiš's efforts came to nothing. denik.cz ↗
On a personal level, Babiš denied that he had abandoned his intention to abolish license fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio, even though the government is for now proposing only a partial exemption for seniors and students. The prime minister also stated that he is not an expert on the workings of the Chamber of Deputies and does not know its procedures in detail, even though he has been a member of it for thirteen years. forum24.cz ↗
In the morning, President Pavel met with Defense Minister Jaromír Zůna and Justice Minister Jeroným Tejc to discuss nominations for new generals. On the domestic front, the Senate is preparing to decide on expanding the list of significant days to include Czech Flag Day, which according to the prime minister should fall on March 30. The government is also continuing preparations for a controversial law on the transparency of financing for non-profit organizations, which the prime minister says is meant to prevent the misuse of public funds. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
