MPs expected to fast-track approval of flood relief support

The Czech Parliament is set to fast-track the approval of emergency aid for people affected by recent floods. MPs will also re-vote on a government bill limiting the use of lay judges in court panels, which was vetoed by President Petr Pavel. The Tuesday session starts with a debate on the agenda, with the flood relief expected to be discussed under a state of legislative emergency, allowing for same-day approval. The bill extends care benefits for parents of children under 10 and offers housing support for those in financial hardship.
