Document 195 - Written interpellation by M. Šmída to I. Červený concerning personnel disintegration, clientelism, and uneconomical management of funds at the Ministry of the Environment

This is a written interpellation of an MP to the Minister of the Environment over allegations of staff cuts, clientelism and wasteful use of money at the ministry. The Minister’s response states that 39 posts have been cut due to budget constraints, agendas have been reallocated and, according to him, there has been no weakening of activities. He also defends the creation of the new Climate Policy Unit and the Green Deal, the contract for personnel consultancy, saying that it has not yet been executed or invoiced, and closes the case of the employment of the Secretary of State’s son as a temporary solution without proven misconduct.
