Confidence motion
A vote of no confidence in the government was called at the request of the opposition. The motion was in response to the revelation of a conversation between Foreign Minister Macinka and the president's advisor Petr Kolář, which was interpreted by the president as blackmail and reported to the authorities. In the messages, Macinka sought to pressure the president into appointing the AUTO MP Filip Turek as the Minister of the Environment.[8] The vote took place on 4 February 2026.
