Czech government escaped vote distrust

The Czech Republic under the guidance of Prime Minister Andrei Babisha could avoid a vague distrust. It is reported by the Czech edition Denik.

The voting was initiated by five opposition parties, it was already the third attempt to make a vague distrust of the current government. Oppositions said that Babishe Cabinet did not cope with the coronavirus pandemic, and could not achieve broad international support in his conflict with Russia.

In order to make a vote of distrust, 101 vote of deputies of the Lower House of Parliament was required, but only 89 people were supported by the initiative. Thus, members of the Communist Party (KSČM) generally refused to take part in the voting and left the meeting room.

At the end of May, the Prague police had recommended to present Babish accusations in frauds with subsidies dedicated to the European Union. The investigation concerns the farm included in the Agrofert Holding, belonging to Babis’s relatives, and before his political career – and him himself. Agrofert unites more than 250 companies and could not receive subsidies intended for small and medium businesses. Babish denies its involvement in this case.
