Zdeněk Šarapatka proposed to restore lustrations and introduce security clearances for government members and their deputies. He described Andrej Babiš's government as a risk to national security and accused its members of ties to the communist past, Russia, and the interests of foreign powers. He stated that he would promote the proposal after gaining voters' trust: first in senatorial committees, then in the Senate plenary, and subsequently in the Chamber of Deputies, where he would act as a reporter. He wanted to publicly request support from civil society. For the Prime Minister and ministers of security-strategic departments, he demanded lustration and a security clearance from the National Security Office at the level of top secret. For the Prime Minister's clearance, he mentioned a deadline of nine months and added that party leaders with ambitions to govern and stable electoral forecasts should obtain it before the elections. For ministers of less exposed departments, he proposed the level of secret, and for deputies, confidential. He deemed the existing deadline before the elections sufficient and criticized "shadow governments." According to Šarapatka, the current president has a negative lustration certificate and a strict clearance from the National Security Office. He labeled the examination of other heads of state as a topic for serious consideration and mentioned Miloš Zeman as a warning example. #lustrace #národníbezpečnost #politika (translated)
