Czech PM survives no-confidence vote amid bitcoin scandal | JQJO

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala's government survived a no-confidence vote triggered by a bitcoin scandal involving a convicted drug dealer's donation. 98 out of 192 MPs voted against the motion, narrowly avoiding a snap election four months before scheduled elections. The scandal involved Justice Minister Pavel Blažek's resignation after accepting a €40 million bitcoin donation. The opposition, led by populist Andrej Babiš, hopes to capitalize on the scandal to boost their election prospects. Fiala's government, with a fragile majority, has survived similar votes before.
