You requested an analysis from the ministry and predetermined its result to suit Agrofert. However, Andrej Babiš will definitely praise you for that, Mr. Minister. (translated)

The government promised a return to balanced budgets. Instead, during a time of economic growth, it is heading for the second highest deficit in history. They promised budgetary responsibility, delivering record debts. (translated)

This is unbelievable! The minister orders the analysis to be processed and predetermined its outcome in advance. This can ultimately harm the position of the ministry and the state in recovering unlawfully paid subsidies to companies that the minister himself represented just a year ago. It's just obvious. (translated)

The government promises to reduce deficits in its program statement. The reality? It presents a budget with a deficit of 389 billion and wants to significantly increase our country's debt. Instead of keeping promises, it looks for ways to adjust the rules to its spending. This is why we are calling for a vote of no confidence in the government. (translated)

I keep saying it over and over. Andrej Babiš is in a conflict of interest and his failure to address it threatens further European subsidies for all Czech farmers. Mr. Prime Minister, either run a business or be the Prime Minister. You simply can't do both at the same time! (translated)

The revision of framework educational programs is crucial for the entire education system. Therefore, it is important for not only us, the members of parliament, but also the public to know in what stage this revision is at. We therefore appeal to the Ministry of Education to keep the public informed about this important change. (translated)

Last year, you were so upset about the budget proposal with a deficit of 286 billion crowns. You wrote about an "absurd" deficit, criticized the debt policy, and rejected any softening of the rules of fiscal responsibility. Today, your government is proposing a deficit of 389. (translated)

This is the same government that in its program statement promises to reduce the deficit of public finances and return to balanced or even surplus budgets. The reality, however, is exactly the opposite. (translated)

Kim Jong-uns Säuberung an der Militärspitze, die wachsenden Verflechtungen mit Russland und sogar Truppeneinsätze in der Ukraine sind alarmierende Zeichen einer gefährlichen Machtkonzentration — statt Trumps schmeichelnder Annäherung brauchen wir eine prinzipienfeste, multinationale Politik, die Abrüstung, Menschenrechte und verlässliche Sicherheitsgarantien gegenüber Pjöngjang durchsetzt, nicht untergräbt. :(

During a time of economic growth, loosening the rules of budgetary responsibility and planning a deficit approaching 400 billion crowns for 2027 is extremely irresponsible. Debt is still debt, no matter how the government hides it behind any change in rules. And in the end, the bill for today’s spending will be paid. (translated)

The government is loosening the rules of budgetary responsibility and wants to exclude part of the expenditures from the fiscal framework. However, this will not make any expenditures disappear, and the national debt will not decrease. At a time of economic growth, we should gradually reduce deficits and create space for worse times. The government is going in the opposite direction. (translated)

Freedom is not a given. The anniversary of the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 reminds us how easily we can lose our freedom if we stop protecting democracy, the rule of law, and our place in democratic Europe. Russian aggression against Ukraine is a clear reminder for us that Russia... (translated)

This is really over the line. The Czech Republic and all of Europe are struggling with extreme heat and drought, streams, rivers, and ponds are drying up, and farmers are worried about the harvest. And what does the government say about it? Instead of concrete solutions, we hear belittlement. Petr Macinka mocked the debate in the Chamber of Deputies back in June. (translated)

Money can easily be found for subsidies for the Agrofert holding companies, but where it comes to things that actually affect people's everyday lives, the government is taking money away from the regions. Secondary and tertiary roads, public transport, social services, healthcare, or support for sports. All of this (translated)

Murder should never be time-barred. Today, in the Czech Republic, the statute of limitations for the crime of murder is 30 years. I don't think that's right. I fully support the proposal of my colleagues from the Senate that murder in the Czech Republic should never be time-barred. I will carry this proposal as its sponsor. (translated)

Andrej Babiš and his conflict of interest are truly an endless story. The European prosecutor has initiated criminal proceedings to investigate politicians and officials who, despite possible violations of the conflict of interest rules, allowed the disbursement of billion-dollar subsidies to companies within the Agrofert holding. (translated)

The cancellation of the highway vignette price adjustment is bad news for all taxpayers. The government will pay for building the transportation infrastructure from the budget by borrowing. Then everyone will also contribute to the interest on this loan from their taxes. So it will be paid twice! Pure populism! I won't support that. (translated)

The government has come up with a way to fight against the president that does not suit them. They keep repeating that he has supposedly already started his campaign for re-election. In reality, it is precisely they who constantly open this topic and create a political dispute from it. But if someone has really initiated it here... (translated)

The government coalition forcefully pushed through a new construction law. There is no doubt about the need for changes in construction law in our country. The slowness of the process, a million permits and papers is crazy. I'm just not sure whether the final version of the law will actually lead to the desired goal. Time will tell if they are sufficient. (translated)

At the NATO summit in Ankara, there must be a clear strengthening of support for Ukraine and an unequivocal declaration of unity among allies. We can no longer tolerate or relativize Russian aggression. Ukraine is defending not only its freedom and territorial integrity but also the principles on which European security stands. (translated)
