The Czech government has appointed Edita Stejskalová, Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, as the new government commissioner for Roma minority affairs. This decision follows the resignation of Lucie Fuková last week, triggered by a governmental restructuring that moved the Roma agenda under the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Fuková stated the new arrangement would hinder her ability to effectively fulfill the role. The government approved Stejskalová’s appointment on Monday, with her assuming office on Tuesday. The shift in responsibility aims to integrate Roma-related policies within the broader framework of social and labour initiatives. Fuková’s departure highlighted concerns about the autonomy and effectiveness of the Roma affairs portfolio within the government.
