Pirate Party began to vote on whether to leave government

The Pirate Party's national forum began voting today on whether to exit the government, following the proposed dismissal of party leader Ivan Bartoš. Prime Minister Petr Fiala (Civic Democratic Party) cited issues with the digitalization of the construction process as the reason for Bartoš's removal, which the Pirates view as being "pushed out" of the government. Bartoš has already informed Fiala of the party's decision to leave the coalition.  All 1,161 members of the Pirate Party can vote from today until Monday evening. The outcome of the vote will not impact the government’s stability, as the ruling coalition still holds 104 seats without the Pirates.
