CZECHIA: CNB Gov Michl To Speak
CZECHIA
- Prime Minister Petr Fiala told Seznam Zpravy that he was "a little worried" about how recent regional elections turned out, but also played down the strengthening of the opposition ahead of next year's parliamentary election.
- Defence Minister Jana Cernochova said that the government crisis related to the Pirate Party's exit from the government is over and called comments made by officials involved in the matter "emotional." In an interview with E15, she refused to categorically rule out future cooperation with the Pirates, citing positive examples of working with them at the municipal level.
- The government deemed it impossible to fix the botched digitalisation of the construction permit system and decided to start the process anew. This means that it will take more time to complete the process and may put access to EU subsidies at risk.
- Czech National Bank Governor Alex Michl is due to speak at an economic conference from 09:45BST/10:45CEST.
