Deputies call on PM Babiš to support EC recovery plan

Deputies from the Pirate Party, Christian Democratic Party, TOP 09 and Mayors and Independents have called on Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to support the European Commission’s 750 billion euro recovery plan at the upcoming EU summit next week.

According to the deputies, the Czech Republic will benefit in the long term from the recovery of other economies, since most of the country’s exports are destined for European markets.

The Czech Prime Minister has repeatedly criticised the fund as being overly generous to some states and disagrees with the criteria according to which the aid would be allocated.
