ANO leader Andrej Babiš says he could seek changes to coalition agreement

Finance minister and leader of the ANO party, Andrej Babiš, says he could seek a revamp of the one year old coalition government agreement. Babiš said he is annoyed by so-called ‘socialist’ measures such as the proposal from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs to provide substitute alimony for children if the parents default and the proposal to increase tax on banks and banks if tax revenues come in below expectations. Government leaders are due to discuss changes to the agreement on Monday evening. Neither the Social Democrats of prime minister Bohulsav Sobotka or the Christian Democrats are said to be seeking changes.
