CZECHIA: Police Seeks To Prosecute Okamura, Cabinet Holds Meeting
CZECHIA
- Prague police want to press charges against far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) leader Tomio Okamura for inciting hatred during the campaign ahead of last year's regional and Senate elections. Denik N circulated an opinion piece arguing that the police request could affect the campaign ahead of this year's parliamentary election by allowing Okamura to play a victim and double down on his anti-immigrant rhetoric.
- The cabinet holds its regular meeting today, with legislative changes surrounding the energy industry and strategic infrastructure projects on the agenda. The post-cabinet media briefing will be held at 13:00GMT/14:00CET.
