Dispute over Babiš's conflict of interest returns to the Chamber of Deputies and Brussels

On Thursday, Czech deputies again addressed the possible conflict of interest of Andrej Babiš in connection with companies from the Agrofert holding and a proposed amendment to the conflict-of-interest law. Babiš rejects the suspicions, while the European Commission continues to withhold reimbursement of subsidies for the holding's companies. ta3.com ↗

The Commission earlier confirmed that Czech authorities could resume entitlement subsidies for these companies, but has not yet reimbursed the money from the European Union budget. The reason is the ongoing review of whether Babiš's resolution of the conflict of interest is sufficient. The State Agricultural Intervention Fund received confirmation from the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development that it is proceeding correctly in resuming the entitlement subsidies.

A new political dispute concerns the proposed amendment to the conflict-of-interest law, which, according to the opposition, could bring an advantage to Babiš and those around him. The opposition Pirates announced that they will turn to the European Commission over the proposal, specifically to European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice and the Rule of Law Michael McGrath. The opposition criticizes the proposal as a self-serving adjustment of the rules. ihned.cz ↗

The topic also feeds into broader proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, which is simultaneously continuing negotiations on other politically sensitive items, including the amendment to the building act. Further developments will depend on how the European Commission evaluates the Agrofert subsidies and whether Czech deputies advance the amendment to the conflict-of-interest law further in the legislative process. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
