MPs could vote on no-confidence motion against Babiš government

Czech MPs could vote on Thursday on a no-confidence motion against the coalition government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO), as the special lower house session enters its third day. The opposition called the vote over concerns including the proposed 2027 budget deficit, Babiš’s alleged unresolved conflict of interest and what it describes as government attacks on institutions. The five opposition parties hold 92 of the 200 seats, while 101 votes are required to bring down the government. The ANO-SPD-Motorists coalition is therefore expected to survive the vote, as it did a previous no-confidence motion in February
