He awarded a million-dollar contract without a competition. "We are dealing with a natural disaster," the minister then alarmed.

In the lead-up to elections, Environment Minister Igor Červený and Filip Turek raised concerns about chemical contamination in Šumava, linking it to a contract awarded to Dekonta. The contract, worth 3.2 million CZK, was awarded without a competitive tender, citing environmental risks. Local residents were largely unfazed by the claims, noting that the military had previously used chemicals in the area. The government has initiated military involvement for site analysis and cleanup, with a projected cost of 192.4 million CZK for remediation. The situation has sparked speculation about political motivations behind the contract and the timing of the announcements.
