Agrofert

The European Commission has suspended the payment of a portion of agricultural subsidies to companies within the Agrofert group due to a potential conflict of interest involving Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. However, the State Agricultural Intervention Fund continues to pay financial support to the holding company and has not even suspended the processing of further applications. Martin Vokálek, Executive Director and head of the Brussels branch of the EUROPEUM Institute, warned that if the fund continues to pay subsidies to companies within the Agrofert holding, it risks a major problem.

Our Vít Havelka gave an interview on the involvement of the European Commission in the investigation of the conflict of interests of the Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
