The boycott of Babiš's products claimed that Andrej Babiš placed Agrofert in a trust fund, but retained SynBiol in personal ownership. According to the author, he held through SynBiol 87.75 percent of the investment group Hartenberg Holding, whose clinics last year received a total of 1.1 billion crowns from health insurance companies. The author stated that the amount of payments to healthcare facilities was determined by the Ministry of Health through a reimbursement decree and that the ministry in the new government was led by ANO's nominee Adam Vojtěch. He also claimed that Babiš owned 40 percent of the Czech IVF market and connected him with the director of Hartenberg before Vojtěch's first ministerial term. The post also recalled Babiš's promise to relinquish Agrofert, which according to the author he made on Instagram before being appointed prime minister by President Petr Pavel. The author further stated that the European Commission refused to reimburse subsidies to companies linked to Babiš until the conflict of interest was credibly resolved, and that the government was to provide measures concerning SynBiol's reproductive clinics within 30 days. He also quoted Kupka, who stated that the person determining the rules was at the beginning and end of the financial flow. https://t.co/b8hbYIP4Dq #AndrejBabiš #Agrofert #SynBiol (translated)
For the ANO movement, the municipal elections in large cities ended in a debacle. In most regional, as well as statutory cities, its share of votes significantly decreased compared to previous elections.

Consequently, its chances of obtaining mayoral positions are also logically decreasing," political scientist Jakub Lysek stated for Aktuálně.cz. #HnutíANO #VolebníVýsledky #AndrejBabiš (translated)
