A transparency measure implemented in 2013, requiring disclosure of ministerial advisors and their compensation, was quietly weakened last year by the Petr Fiala cabinet. This change allowed some ministers from the previous Andrej Babiš administration to delay publishing these lists. Consequently, these ministers will not reveal their advisors and associated payments until February of next year. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from Transparency International, a leading anti-corruption organization. This rollback in transparency raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and accountability within the government. The Fiala government’s move effectively grants a loophole to Babiš-era officials, hindering public scrutiny of their activities. Transparency International argues this undermines efforts to combat corruption in the Czech Republic.
