The dispute over Ankara continues, Pavel appointed a new army chief
The dispute between Andrej Babiš's government and President Petr Pavel over Czech participation in the July NATO summit in Ankara continues even after the Constitutional Court's preliminary injunction. The government insists that the prime minister will remain the head of the delegation, while the president is to be part of the delegation and will fly to Turkey separately on a government special aircraft. irozhlas.cz ↗
Pavel will not comply with Babiš's request that he reconsider his participation and not fly to Ankara. According to the Castle, the government's approach is in conflict with the Constitutional Court's preliminary injunction as well as with existing protocol customs. The president also asked the prime minister for a meeting to resolve the situation, but according to published information, Babiš did not agree to it. irozhlas.cz ↗
The tension between the Castle and the cabinet has also spilled over into military affairs. At Prague Castle, Pavel appointed Miroslav Hlaváč as the new Chief of the General Staff, who will replace Karel Řehka on July 1. The prime minister did not attend the ceremony, which the president indirectly mentioned in his speech. The two politicians later met at the ceremonial handover of command at Prague's Vítkov. e15.cz ↗
Meanwhile, the government is facing further disputes. Some experts are leaving government human rights councils due to Babiš's reorganization of agendas. At the same time, according to new information, the coalition is backing away from the broadest form of changes to conflict-of-interest rules, which would have affected Agrofert and the prime minister. The debate also continues over abolishing television and radio license fees and over statements made by Deputy Minister of Finance Alena Schillerová's deputy, Petr Macha. info.cz ↗
Further developments will be determined above all by the practical arrangements for Czech participation in the NATO summit, the Constitutional Court's response, and relations between the government and the president on security matters. e15.cz ↗
