New Justice Minister Appointed
On Tuesday, Czech President Petr Pavel appointed Eva Decroix as the new Minister of Justice, following the resignation of her predecessor, Pavel Blažek, amid a political crisis sparked by a controversial bitcoin donation scandal. The scandal involves the Ministry of Justice’s acceptance of a bitcoin donation worth approximately $46 million from a convicted criminal, raising suspicions of money laundering and prompting Blažek’s resignation to protect the ruling coalition. The scandal has heightened political tensions ahead of the elections, with law enforcement probing the donation’s origins, as the government seeks to stabilize public confidence amid growing opposition pressure.
