The noose is tightening. Babiš is struggling with the fate of Zůna, even subordinates are going against the minister.

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlíček are increasingly monitoring the Ministry of Defense due to their loss of trust in Minister Jaromír Zůna. Tensions escalated after Zůna's recent trip to the U.S., where he was sidelined during meetings at the Pentagon. The Future Forces Forum highlighted Zůna's precarious position, as dissatisfaction grows among coalition partners and ministry officials. The government's strategic document KVAČR 2040, aimed at modernizing the Czech army, faces delays and criticism. Speculation about Zůna's potential replacement is rising, with Lubomír Metnar mentioned as a possible successor. Meanwhile, the coalition is pushing forward with controversial legislation to abolish broadcasting fees, despite opposition protests.
