Czech Senate urges PM to resign because of financial scandal

Baku. 15 November. REPORT.AZ / Members of the Senate (upper house of Parliament) of the Czech Republic adopted a resolution which calls on Prime Minister and dollar billionaire Andrei Babis to resign.

Report informs citing RIA Novosti that parliamentarians demand his resignation until the end of the ongoing police investigation about his possible abuse in obtaining one of their EU firms subsidies in the amount of about 2 million euros.

The Senate adopted this resolution when Prime Minister referred to his employment and did not attend today's meeting, to which he was invited, and did not notify about his absence.

"The information which appeared in the media in recent days in connection with the case of the company “Gnezdo Aista” raises suspicions that the investigation of this case is not independent. The Senate could not pass by this situation," the head of the Senate club of the civil democratic party, which has a majority in the house, Milos Vystrech told reporters following the meeting in the upper house.
