Czech opposition criticises government coalition over parliamentary procedures

Czech opposition parties have criticised the governing coalition over its handling of parliamentary business, including plans to limit the usual questioning of ministers during an extraordinary session on Thursday. Civic Democratic Party (ODS) leader Martin Kupka said the opposition would continue raising issues it believes the government has failed to address. The opposition is also collecting signatures for a no-confidence vote and is expected to decide on its timing this week. The Pirates said the extraordinary session would allow fewer questions and no follow-ups, while STAN criticised the scheduling of two extraordinary sessions this week.
