Prague Airport privatisation officially off the table according to Finance Minister

With regards to the ongoing discussion over the privatisation of Prague Airport, the Finance Minister also stated that the new government’s official policy statement would make no mention of the issue. According to Mr Janota, an economic recession is not an appropriate time for the sale of any kind of property, and the government should keep strategic control over the airport until such time as an elected government can decide on the matter. The statement was praised by the Social Democratic party, which has conditioned their vote of confidence in the new government on the rejection of the airport’s privatisation.
