Ruling parties working to amend coalition agreement

The ruling parties are working to amend the coalition agreement, following the departure of the Pirate Party from the government. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Christian Democrat leader Marian Jurečka the amendment will concern changes to the format of negotiations, the number of parties involved and the division of ministries and portfolios. The government’s program priorities will remain the same. For this reason, Prime Minister Petr Fiala says he sees no need to ask the Chamber of Deputies for a vote of confidence.
