Motorists would back Prague Airport stake sale; opposition figure not opposed

Motorists in the Czech Republic would support the listing of a minority stake in Prague Airport on the stock exchange, according to Minister for Sport Boris Šťastný. Šťastný, a member of the Motorists party, expressed this view on Sunday but emphasized that the issue has not yet been discussed within the government or at the coalition council.

Despite the lack of formal government talks, the potential privatization of a portion of Prague Airport has garnered some political attention. Notably, Alexandr Vondra, deputy chairman of the opposition ODS party, has indicated that he would not oppose the privatization of part of the airport.

Šťastný's comments suggest a potential openness to exploring market-based solutions for the airport's future. However, his acknowledgment that the topic is not yet on the government's agenda indicates that any such move would require further deliberation and consensus-building among coalition partners.
