Vít Rakušan stated that the Motorists initially wanted to oversee Andrej Babiš in the government, but according to him, they are now easing the rules on conflicts of interest. As evidence that conflicts of interest cost public money, he mentioned that the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs will have to find tens of millions of crowns in its budget, which it will not receive from the European Union due to the conflict of interest of Mr. Juchelka's deputy. He added that the Prime Minister's own companies are drawing additional billions in violation of EU rules. According to Rakušan, this money is then missing for regional roads and social services in the regions. He accused government officials of robbing Czech citizens of their money and stated that the Motorists want to make it easier for them. #českápolitika #střetzájmů #Babiš (translated)

Petr Pavel, upon returning to the Czech Republic, explained the circumstances of his private trip to Morocco. He stated that it was not organized or financed by the Presidential Office and that he considered his statement important in terms of transparency, while also rejecting political interference in his private life.

According to him, the organizers offered free seats on board, and Pavel agreed to pay 3,750 euros for his seat. For the trip between Casablanca and Prague and back during the election period, he used a flight from a private Moroccan transportation company. The logistics of the flight were handled by expedition participant Tomáš Šebek, who accompanied Pavel along with Pavel Kubíček and a member of the security service.

Petra Pecková stated that she heard Motorist MP Miroslav Krejčí talking about the need to significantly increase the number of special schools in connection with changes to school inclusion. According to her, Krejčí said that the capacities should be provided by the regions, and that if these were insufficient, their funding from RUD could be reduced. Pecková asked if Krejčí knew how much money the regions had lost since January due to the current government's measures. According to her, the Central Bohemian Region is now roughly four billion crowns in the red. She noted that the state sent the region two billion less for social services, another 500 million crowns is intended for salary increases in social services, and about 900 million for changes in wage tariffs and salary increases for officials, cultural workers, and public administration employees. The increase in wages in healthcare, she said, means an impact of 450 million crowns. She further wrote that the regions lost money for regional roads, estimating the impact on the Central Bohemian Region at between 340 million and one billion crowns over the years. According to her, she did not even take into account the VAT from compensations to public transport carriers, which should have an impact of 1.4 billion crowns. Pecková messaged Krejčí that if the regions lose funding from RUD due to insufficient capacity of special schools, which she claims do not have the means to build them, he could finance them from donations from his sponsors. She added that money from gambling could thus serve a good purpose. #školství #inkluzivnívzdělávání #sociálníslužby (translated)
