Czech Government Holds On Amid Bitcoin Controversy

Czech Republic, PragueTue Jun 24 2025
In the Czech Republic, the government managed to stay in power after a recent vote. The opposition tried to remove them, but they didn't get enough support. This vote happened because of a big issue involving bitcoin. The problem started when the Justice Ministry accepted a large donation of bitcoin. They later sold it for a lot of money. The donation came from someone with a criminal past. This raised questions about where the bitcoin came from and why it was given. Because of this, the Justice Minister stepped down. The new minister promised to look into what happened. The opposition thinks there might have been illegal activity, like money laundering. They want the whole government to take responsibility. This is not the first time the opposition has tried to remove the government. It's the fourth time in a few years. The next big election is coming up soon. The opposition leader is expected to win. The government says they didn't do anything wrong. They believe the minister who resigned acted in good faith. But the controversy is still causing problems for them.
