Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has assessed his government’s performance after its first six months in power, appearing on the Terezie Tománková show. Babiš dismissed suggestions of cabinet reshuffles and defended the controversial “lex Babiš” law, designed to address his conflict of interest concerns. He also voiced criticism towards the Czech National Bank for raising interest rates, arguing the move was ill-timed. The Prime Minister indicated potential adjustments to fuel price caps and floated the possibility of taxing low-alcohol wine. Babiš subtly questioned the competence of some coalition partners, suggesting they are still learning. The statements reflect ongoing tensions within the governing coalition and highlight key policy disagreements.
