Babiš: Government will not abandon law to reveal funding of organizations

According to Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, the government will not abandon preparations for a transparency law that would provide a comprehensive overview of how much money flows from abroad to organizations lobbying for legislative changes. In a post on the social network X, he said rules need to be defined so they place minimal burden on NGOs providing services such as charity or youth activities.

Each minister has been tasked with identifying which non-profit organizations are necessary and which are not, Babiš said, adding that the issue will require more time and deeper debate. According to him, there is a growing grey area between civic activism, lobbying, and foreign-funded influence on the state.
