Document 178 - Written interpellation by I. Ferčíková Konečná to L. Metnar regarding the abolition of the Crisis Information Team (KRIT) of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic

The document contains the MP’s interpellation on the reorganisation of the Ministry of the Interior, which abolished the Strategic Communication Department known as KRIT, and the Minister’s response. The Minister stated that KRIT was not a separate unit, that the State’s crisis communication was provided by other crisis management structures and that the reorganisation was not intended to weaken the security or preparedness of the State. The change, according to the Ministry, is to eliminate overlapping agendas and review expenditures, citing public funds in excess of K188 million without always proven benefits.
