Do you consider the informal agreement with the Minister of Defence to be sufficient to guarantee that the Ministry of Defence will get the promised money back? My answer may be harsh, but it is based on the experience that we all have from the statements of the ministers of this Government.

I am already sceptical of the promises made by both the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance towards the military budget. Unfortunately, it is becoming common for official government statements not to be guaranteed. At the same time, I do not understand the importance of an unofficial agreement. After all, we are talking about the security of the Czech Republic and a multibillion-dollar hole in the budget of our army. Here I would expect an agreement between the two departments, a government press conference and a statement of refunds to the Ministry of Defence's budget. If the government doesn't have the money, let the real situation and the plan of how it proceed be heard. These "military maneuvers" are undignified towards our soldiers and irresponsible to the security of the Czech Republic.
