President Pavel: Due to Babiš’s conflict of interest, ANO should propose another candidate

“If the chairman of the ANO movement, Andrej Babiš, is not able to satisfactorily resolve his conflict of interest, then by appointing him I would be contributing to the creation of an illegal situation,” President Petr Pavel told Czech Radio on Monday on Národní třída. In such a case, he said, it would be advisable for the movement, as the election winner, to propose another candidate for the position of prime minister. If the ANO leader still owned the Agrofert holding at the time of his appointment as prime minister, he would be in a conflict of interest. He would have 30 days to resolve it.
