Czech government faces no-confidence vote over energy prices

[admin]

The Czech Republic’s coalition government on Thursday faced a parliamentary no-confidence vote over its handling of the energy crisis and a scandal involving the head of one of the country’s spy agencies. The government argues it has introduced a plan to support the households by some 15,000 Czech crowns ($611) on average in the coming winter and was working on further steps to ease the financial pressure. The government was also planning to call an emergency meeting of other European Union countries next week to seek a united approach to the issue.
