  • Czech senators returned Regional Development Minister Zuzana Mrázová’s building law amendment to the Chamber of Deputies after sharply criticizing it.
  • Some criticism came from ANO senator Petr Vícha, who warned that Mrázová could suffer the same political fate as former minister Ivan Bartoš.
  • Mrázová said the government recognized the reform’s scale and would prepare for the challenges involved.

Zuzana Mrázová says she is not afraid that her building law reform will end her political career the way a previous reform damaged former minister Ivan Bartoš.

Czech senators returned the amendment to the Chamber of Deputies at the end of August. The debate included descriptions of the legislation as a monstrosity and a catastrophe. Petr Vícha, a senator from Mrázová’s own ANO club, also voiced concern that the minister could face the same consequences as Bartoš.

“I am really not afraid of that. We are not underestimating anything,” Mrázová said in an interview with iDNES.cz. She acknowledged that the legislation represented a major reform and would be demanding to implement.

“We realize that it is a major reform, that it will be challenging, and that we have to prepare for it,” she said.

I am really not afraid of that. We are not underestimating anything. We realize that it is a major reform, that it will be challenging, and that we have to prepare for it.
