The Czech Parliament has opposed the holding of a Sudeten German congress in Brno
The Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament has approved a resolution expressing its opposition to the country’s first Sudeten German congress.
This was reported by IDNES.
The decision was backed by votes from representatives of the coalition parties. During the debate, lawmakers stated that holding such an event could be seen as a political provocation and an attempt to cast doubt on the outcome of World War II.
Critics of the event also argued that it might not be a step toward reconciliation but, on the contrary, could reopen historical wounds.
At the same time, some opposition politicians criticized the inclusion of this issue on the agenda, calling it an attempt to divert attention from current problems.
The Sudeten German Congress is scheduled to take place in Brno on May 22–25 and will be held in the Czech Republic for the first time.
Babiš acknowledged that the Czech Republic will not meet NATO’s 2% of GDP defense spending target.
Czech Prime Minister and leader of the populist ANO party, Andrej Babiš, called the verdict against his party’s MEP Jana Nádová biased. This refers to a case in which an earlier investigation against Babiš himself had been halted.
