The cancellation of fees was not an action of the SPD, but of the entire coalition. Okamura's man clarified the moment of surprise.

The Czech Parliament decided to discuss the abolition of fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio, transitioning their funding to the state budget. This decision was made by coalition parties, not as a concession to the opposition. The SPD's Radim Fiala defended the urgency of the vote, citing potential opposition blockades. Critics, including TOP 09's Matěj Ondřej Havel, condemned the breach of parliamentary traditions and the rushed process, claiming it undermined democratic procedures. The timing of the vote was also questioned, as many lawmakers were unable to participate. Meanwhile, a strong wind warning was issued for northern Czech Republic, and two men were detained in connection with a fire at a town hall in Limoges, France.
