Document 236 - Written interpellation by K. Stojanová to A. Juchelka concerning Karel Trpkoš

Scope: Sections 18–112; pages 1–8.

This concerns a written interpellation by Representative Kateřina Stojanová addressed to the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs regarding allegations of unethical and racist remarks made by Karel Trpkoš, a senior official at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, and the Minister’s response. The MP requests an explanation regarding the possible authenticity of an online profile, any tax-related statements, an internal investigation, and potential personnel liability. The minister states that racist remarks are incompatible with the position, but he rejects the allegations against Trpkoš, citing his security clearance from the National Security Authority (NBÚ) and the fact that, according to him, there were no complaints or investigations at the ministry. The minister did not commit to any specific new measures or sanctions and responded to some of the questions with a refusal or dismissed them as speculative.
