Time to arrest Babiš?
In the latest episode of Game of Thrones, the devious Queen Mother Cersei is thrown into a dungeon by a religious zealot not so unlike Senior Olomouc State Prosecutor Ivo Ištvan. The arrest is a major plot twist, because it was always Cersei who excelled at exploiting the sins of her rivals. The revelation of her own immoral acts now threatens to bring her down. In the real world, harsh words were used in Parliament yesterday to enumerate the sins of Andrej Babiš as finance minister and owner of Agrofert, the harshest of which related to his alleged abuses of power. Ex-PM Mirek Topolánek also spoke in detail about this recently on OVM. If true, Babiš's crimes are at least as serious as those of Jana Nagyová, who now faces a show trial. Politically, it would be delicate for Išvtan to have Babiš arrested, not least of all because the devious Babiš could very well use his incarceration to propel himself to a huge victory in the next elections.
