Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babish accused the European Parliament – the chief legislative body of the European Union – in interference in the internal affairs of the country. His statement was published in twitter .
Babish stated that the resolution of the European Parliament, criticizing the policy for the unlawful use of EU subsidies, is directed not only against himself, but also against the entire Czech Republic. According to the Czech premier, the document is only an attempt to influence the elections, which will be held in the country in the fall.
Politician also stated that all the content of the resolution is a lie, and the European Parliamentary are trying to dictate the Czechs who should be their prime minister. “The Czech Republic is not a colony of the European Parliament,” the politician emphasized.
At the end of May, the Prague police had recommended to present Babish accusations in frauds with subsidies dedicated to the European Union. The investigation concerns the farm included in the Agrofert Holding, belonging to Babis’s relatives, and before his political career – and him himself. Agrofert unites more than 250 companies and could not receive subsidies intended for small and medium businesses. Babish denies its involvement in this case.
