Nacher wants a debate on the definition of public service. He said nothing about Babiš's funding proposal.
The debate over the Czech Television and Czech Radio should focus on redefining their public service rather than just financing, according to Patrik Nacher. The coalition is pushing for the abolition of fees, proposing funding from the state budget instead. Opposition parties express concerns about the lack of opportunity to voice their opinions, leading to protests. Nacher emphasizes the need for a substantive discussion on what is expected from public media. Prime Minister Babiš announced that fees would be voluntary and not directly funded from the budget. The opposition is coordinating their response and plans to propose a law for independent media funding if they win future elections. A recent poll shows a divide among voters regarding the proposed budget cuts for public media.
