The July car accident involving Motorist MP Filip Turek and the driver of an emergency medical vehicle in central Prague did not constitute a criminal offence, police have concluded. The case has therefore been referred to misdemeanor proceedings.
Police investigated the incident over possible negligent bodily harm and concluded that no criminal offence had been committed. Their findings indicate that both participants may have committed a traffic offence involving road safety and the smooth flow of traffic.
Turek’s car collided with the emergency vehicle on July 13 at a busy intersection near I. P. Pavlova Square. Footage from the scene shows the MP overtaking a queue in a turning lane shortly before the collision, while the emergency vehicle was using its audible warning signal as it crossed the intersection.
Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) told the Czech News Agency that Turek would not return to his post as the government’s special envoy for climate policy and the Green Deal until the matter had been definitively cleared up.

The Czech Finance Ministry will set maximum fuel prices for the weekend and Monday on Friday. Filling stations can currently charge no more than CZK 48.58 per litre for diesel and CZK 45.92 for petrol, slightly below the caps introduced on Thursday. The government imposed the limits in response to a sharp rise in fuel prices in recent weeks. Diesel prices fell by as much as three crowns per litre at some stations on the first day of regulation, helped by a temporary cut in excise duty. Similar price controls were in place earlier this year from April to July.

The coalition government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) has survived its second no-confidence vote in the Czech lower house. The motion was supported by 83 opposition MPs, well short of the 101 votes needed to bring down the government, while 94 MPs from the governing ANO, Freeedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) and Motorists parties voted against it. The opposition called the vote over issues including the proposed 2027 budget deficit, Babiš’s alleged unresolved conflict of interest and what it describes as government attacks on institutions. The parliamentary debate lasted three days and around 27.5 hours.

EU member states, including Czechia, have given final approval to stricter rules for returning migrants who have no legal right to remain in the European Union. The new regulation is intended to speed up the return of unsuccessful asylum seekers and complements the EU migration and asylum pact. It also allows member states to establish return centres in non-EU countries under bilateral agreements, provided those countries meet international human rights standards. Unaccompanied children cannot be sent to such centres. Critics say the new measures could undermine fundamental rights and prove costly and ineffective.

More than three-quarters of Czechs are concerned about fraud created using artificial intelligence, according to a survey by the Czech AI Association. Some 77.5 percent expressed concern about AI-assisted scams, while 72.3 percent were worried about deepfake videos and images and 70.6 percent about cyberattacks. Only around a quarter believed they could identify a convincing deepfake. The survey of 1,407 adults also found strong support for labelling publicly available content created predominantly by AI. More than 70 percent backed teaching children at school about how AI works and how to use it safely.

Conditions in Czech manufacturing improved for the seventh consecutive month in September, according to S&P Global’s Purchasing Managers’ Index. The PMI stood at 53.5 points, down from 54.1 in August but remaining above the 50-point threshold separating growth from contraction. Output and new orders increased amid stronger demand from both domestic and foreign customers. Higher production requirements also led to the sharpest increase in employment since April 2022. However, supplier performance deteriorated because of transport delays and supply shortages, while higher energy and fuel costs intensified inflationary pressures.
