Mayors urge PM Babiš to dismiss foreign minister over “coup” remarks

The opposition Mayors and Independents party (STAN) has called on Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) to dismiss Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) over his comments describing recent constitutional developments as a “coup attempt”.

According to STAN, Macinka’s remarks devalue the Constitutional Court’s ruling concerning President Petr Pavel’s participation in the NATO summit in Ankara. STAN said such conduct from a member of the government is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
