Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced on Monday that the government will no longer revisit the transfer of human rights and addiction policy agendas from the Office of the Government to four ministries. He described the decision as final, even though it is being protested by experts, employees of the Agency for Social Inclusion, and addiction specialists. lidovky.cz ↗
At the same time, the cabinet is changing the procedure for filling the post of drug policy coordinator. MP Ivana Protopopová will not replace Pavel Bém, and the state is to announce a selection process instead. The government is also preparing stricter rules for kratom, including a sales restriction from age 21 and an excise tax at an appropriate level. During a related operation, police seized tens of thousands of illegally sold CBD and kratom products and 155 kilograms of kratom. ihned.cz ↗
Meanwhile, President Petr Pavel again voiced support for adopting the euro at the reVize Česka conference. He said that if the Czech koruna were hindering the country's development, sentiment toward it should give way. When inaugurating new professors, he also spoke about artificial intelligence, which he said has great potential but also serious risks. irozhlas.cz ↗
The debate also continues over Czech participation in the NATO summit in Ankara. Both Pavel's and Babiš's camps are seeking a plan that would allow both the president and the prime minister to attend. The issue of Babiš's conflict of interest is also continuing to develop, as the European Commission still has doubts about the resolution of his ties to Agrofert. hnonline.sk ↗
