President Petr Pavel will appoint MP Igor Červený (Motorists Party) as Minister of the Environment on Monday, 23 February 2026. The head of state announced the decision just hours after their Thursday morning meeting.
According to the Presidential Office, the president and Červený discussed nature conservation, climate change, and the need to better communicate with the public about the designation of large-scale protected areas.
With Červený’s appointment, the government will be complete. The party’s original nominee for environment minister was MP Filip Turek (Motorists Party), whom the president refused to appoint due to numerous controversies, despite pressure from party leader Petr Macinka.

The opposition Mayors and Independents (STAN) will prepare a proposal that would significantly limit the immunity of deputies and senators. It should protect only political work, statements, and opinions, STAN chairman Vít Rakušan told reporters in the Chamber of Deputies. The move comes in connection with Tuesday’s recommendation by the Chamber’s immunity committee to deputies not to allow the criminal prosecution of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and speaker of the chamber of deputies Tomio Okamura.
According to Rakušan, people prosecuted for crimes unrelated to their political functions should be held accountable for their actions in court like any other citizens in the country.

Last year, Czech airports saw a total of 19.28 million passengers - eight percent more than the year before. The figure surpassed the previous pre-Covid record set in 2019 by 2.4 percent, according to an analysis by ERV Travel Insurance.
Václav Havel Airport Prague handled 17.75 million passengers last year, an 8.5 percent increase year on year. The country’s largest airport thus reached virtually the same passenger volume as in 2019, with the difference amounting to just 0.3 percent.
Departures from regional airports are also growing in popularity. While passenger numbers remained roughly the same as the year before - at around 1.53 million - they were still 49 percent higher than in 2019.

On Thursday morning, President Petr Pavel met with Igor Červený (Motorists’ Party), the nominee for environment minister. As with other prospective ministers ahead of the formation of Andrej Babiš’s (ANO) government, Pavel wanted to hear the candidate’s views firsthand. He has previously indicated that he expects to appoint Červený on Monday, February 23, which would complete Babiš’s cabinet and end Foreign Minister Petr Macinka’s (Motorists’ Party) temporary oversight of the Environment Ministry.
By nominating MP Červený, the Motorists’ Party has stepped back from its earlier insistence that their only candidate is MP Filip Turek, whom Pavel had refused to appoint, citing, among other things, Turek’s views and public statements.
Červený did not disclose the topics discussed during his meeting with Pavel, but said the conversation took place in a friendly atmosphere. “I answered the president’s questions,” he told reporters.
