The Czech Chamber of Deputies' night session on the draft state budget was suspended after a sharp verbal clash between SPD MP Miroslav Ševčík and STAN caucus chairwoman Michaela Šebelová. According to several participants in the session, Ševčík shouted at Šebelová in connection with her request for a break. novinky.cz ↗
STAN chairman Vít Rakušan stated that the MP told his colleague to go through menopause. Šebelová is 24 years younger than Ševčík. Rakušan described his behavior as inappropriate and also directed criticism at the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura. idnes.cz ↗
STAN announced that it would turn to the mandate and immunity committee over the behavior of both politicians. The movement wants the committee to assess the circumstances of the incident during the session and possibly adopt further measures. irozhlas.cz ↗
The budget debate ended after approximately 13 hours, shortly after 11:15 p.m. MPs were debating the first reading of next year's budget proposal, which anticipates a deficit of 386 billion Czech crowns. Opposition parliamentary caucuses requested breaks for consultations during the session. ihned.cz ↗
The Chamber of Deputies committee can now examine the course of the incident as well as the conduct of the MPs involved. Further proceedings will depend on whether STAN formally submits the motion and how the committee responds to it.
