Czech split deepens, budget veto fuels clash
Entities: Petr Pavel · Andrej Babiš · Czech Government · Czech Republic
Overview
Since the NATO summit in Ankara, President Petr Pavel and Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s government have been locked in a widening political confrontation. On 22 July 2026 Pavel exercised his constitutional veto for the first time, rejecting a draft amendment to the public‑budget law that would have relaxed the debt‑brake and granted the cabinet broader borrowing powers. He warned that the proposal threatened fiscal discipline and could push the national debt toward 55 % of GDP.
The governing ANO coalition, backed by a parliamentary majority, announced plans to overturn the veto, while opposition parties—especially ODS—prepared a constitutional complaint, branding the amendment a “legislative blunder”. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová defended the government’s stance, and ODS leader Martin Kupka praised the president’s action as a safeguard for public‑finance sustainability.
Simultaneously, Pavel lodged a complaint with the Constitutional Court contesting the government’s move to dismiss his case over participation in the NATO summit, arguing that the attempt sought to expand presidential powers and politicise the judiciary. He also refused to sign a separate bill easing budget‑responsibility rules, citing risks to health, education and infrastructure funding. The government has asked that a judge involved in the case be excluded for alleged activist bias.
Despite the president’s objections, the Babiš‑led coalition, which holds enough seats to override a veto, scheduled a parliamentary vote for later in the year to reverse Pavel’s decision, indicating that the clash over fiscal policy and institutional authority will likely continue throughout 2026.
