The cabinet of Petr Fiala repeatedly saw the lowest popularity ratings for a Czech government since Petr Nečas's in 2013, according to public opinion polls.^[5][6][7][8]

In September 2024 the cabinet experienced a serious crisis following extremely poor results for the government coalition parties in Czech regional and Senate elections. Fiala eventually sacked Ivan Bartoš, head of the coalition Pirate Party, who had been criticized for months over the poor implementation of the digitalization of construction permit procedures. In response, the Pirate Party left the coalition and other Pirate Party members offered their resignation.^[9][10] On 1 October 2024, Fiala refused to accept the resignation of Jan Lipavský, who remained foreign minister as an independent, having left the Pirate party.^[11]
