ANO: Signatures gathered but no no-confidence vote for now

ANO have gathered enough signatures to convene a vote of no-confidence in the Czech government but will not submit them at the present time. That information was made public by the opposition party’s Alena Schillerová on Thursday.

ANO said last week that if Prime Minister Petr Fiala did not remove Vít Rakušan as interior minister they would push for a no-confidence vote. Party leaders say Mr. Fiala does not appreciate the gravity of the fact that Mr. Rakušan possessed an encrypted mobile phone.
