The no-confidence vote has failed
The Czech government survived a no-confidence vote in the Chamber of Deputies that took place after seven hours of emotional debate. With 101 votes required, only 92 MPs voted for the measure, 90 voted against it, and 18 abstained. The Social Democrats (CSSD) skipped the vote to allow the government to survive.
