“We are promoting a tougher approach with the Minister of the Interior, Hamáček. In our opinion, the entire crisis staff should sit together, “said Zaorálek, who admitted that it was a mistake when the Prime Minister canceled the announced area measures to wear veils in the second half of August.
–
“I understand the Prime Minister. I also talked to the pensioners, who said how annoying the veils bothered them. I take it that it went out to meet the public. We made a mistake there. I mean, not us … “said Zaorálek.

Kalousek: The government did nothing
Kalousek did not leave a dry thread on Zaorálek. “It’s not just about area measures and drapes. We bought time in the spring for a lot of money, but the government wasted it. The key to keeping entire objects in quarantine was smart quarantine. However, there were no prepared capacities for testing. Is the virus responsible? No, it is borne by the Prime Minister, “he emphasized.
–
“It simply came to our notice then. A crisis staff must meet to apply the scenarios that have already been prepared. But I’m afraid they aren’t because the government didn’t do anything. Alpha and omega are the capacities that make an infection shaken. There are not enough personnel and testing capacities now. We will help you with that, but you have to work. Waiting and praying will not help anyone, “said Kalousek.
–
Zaorálek admitted that the government should have plans for solutions to future situations, he also said that hygiene with clever quarantine fell asleep, for which Kalousek again scolded him, that the government should have prepared sufficient capacity for hygiene.
–
Asked why the Prime Minister refused to involve the police in clever quarantine, Zaorálek replied that his party, like in the spring, would succeed in enforcing both the establishment of a crisis staff and the involvement of the police. This is to be discussed again at a government meeting on Monday.
–
“But you are running out of time as you persuade the prime minister. This is not a criticism, this is a challenge, it is a whole country. After all, you can’t be guarded by one crazy guy who decides, as Mára Prchal (marketing of the YES movement) or a fortune teller will tell him, “Kalousek countered.

“Should we start striking? We said our opinion, “Zaorálek objected, defending Babiš, saying that during the crisis he proceeded clearly and competently until the rejection of the veils in August. He put on Kalousek again, scaring people and causing panic. He also referred to other EU countries, where the number of infected people is growing. Kalousek reminded that the surrounding countries are significantly better off and described the Czech ministers as “could not”.

“The government is not failing to protect health. Mortality has not increased, “said Zaorálek.

Hamáček: The crisis staff has proved its worth
Deputy Prime Minister Jan Hamáček (CSSD) Just wrote that the establishment of the Central Crisis Staff has proved successful in the past.
–
“The staff is also called by the governors, who see directly in the field what needs to be done. It is an ideal platform for the exchange of information, management of key components of the state and their coordination. It is extremely important that the staff ensure strategic communication of the state. And in my opinion, its establishment can also have a symbolic meaning, the public will notice and become more aware of the seriousness of the whole problem, “he said.
–
He reminded that Babiš had defended the establishment of a crisis staff in the past as well. “It took more than fourteen days for the crisis staff to be set up. Roman Prymula, then Deputy Minister of Health, was non-standardly appointed to head it. I did not replace Mr. Prymula until March 30. There was no point in arguing with the Prime Minister, we were in a crisis and it was important for me to solve it together, “he added.
