Government crises
The conviction of former Transport Minister and current Presidents of the VV party, Vít Barta, for bribery of members of his own party also led to greater government crisis with the breakup of the VV Group in April 2012. The VV decided formally to withdraw from the coalition, although some MPs voted and all current Minister of VV against this step. The Prime Minister did not rule out early elections. However, the government survived a vote of confidence on 27 April 2012, because the pro-government deputies of the VV had now left their party and voted against the motion of no confidence. The government was doing the approval of 105 of 200 deputies of the Chamber of Deputies, 93 MPs declared their distrust. The fractions of the ODS, TOP 09 and the pro-government VV platform to the Deputy Prime Minister Karolina Peake voted in for the government also approved three remaining in the VV group members, the non-attached Members Pavel Bem and another from the ODS Group trodden Member for the Government and insured so their majority. The remaining ministers in the government and pro-government MPs joined the established shortly thereafter by Karolina Peake party LIDEM which renewed the coalition agreement.
Additional government crisis began in autumn 2012 during the budget deliberations. Six MPs from the ODS Premier Necas told, the budget not to endorse because of the intended tax increases. The government would thus no longer a majority in the Chamber of Deputies. Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek pulled the draft budget Subsequently, on October 24, 2012 directly back. On 31 October 2012 one of these six deputies also joined formally out of the ODS Group. The government factions of the ODS, TOP 09 and LIDEM have thus only 99 of 200 seats in the House of Representatives. Ultimately, identified three of the five remaining members resigned from her seat in parliament, two voted the reform package relents. The government was thus - also thanks to the support of some non-attached Members - with 101 to 93 votes on November 7, 2012, linked with the controversial reform package vote of confidence.
The dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister Peake from the Office of the Minister of Defence after only eight days sparked a renewed government crisis. Peake said in their release that in order to remain active in the LIDEM the government is just hard to imagine. On January 3, 2013, the Board of LIDEM confirmed a decision taken immediately after the dismissal Peake's decision that the remaining in the government ministers should resign on January 10, 2013, but at the same time, the Executive Board, a motion of censure of the previously announced opposition to the Government not to support. At the same time, the Board was always ready to talk about a stay in the coalition. The LIDEM lifted on January 8, 2013 decision to withdraw its ministers again. Instead, the whereabouts of the LIDEM in a renewed coalition agreement should be regulated by the end of this month. The motion of censure of the Social Democrats defended the government successfully: 92 Of 200 deputies voted for the censure motion, 97 voted against, thus the need for deselecting majority of 101 was not achieved.
A new government crisis broke out on June 13, 2013: A special anti-corruption department of the police raided as part of a crackdown rooms in the Government Office of the Prime Minister and sat down next to some influential lobbyists, the office manager of the Prime Minister Jana Nagyová, former Agriculture Minister Ivan Fuksa and the former Group Chairman of the ODS in the House of Petr Tlučhoř fixed. Both belonged to the so-called "rebels" in the ODS who had not supported the tax policy of the Prime Minister in the fall of 2012 and the conflict triggered by their resignation. According to media reports, then they changed to lucrative directorships in state enterprises. The relationships between the arrests were initially unclear, but said the opposition already the biggest scandal of the last 20 years. The Prime Minister refused at first but from a cancellation. On the following day it was announced that the office manager Nagyová including a misuse of military intelligence spying on the wife of the Prime Minister is accused. The Prime Minister had recently made his separation publicly. On June 16, 2013 Prime Minister Necas announced a consequence of this crisis in his resignation for the following day. With his term ends also in accordance with the Constitution, the tenure of the entire government.
Since 17 June 2013, the members of the government Necas therefore were only provisionally in office. The coalition agreed while on a continuation of the joint work under the President of the Chamber of Deputies Miroslava Nemcova as new Prime Minister, President Miloš Zeman granted but instead Jiří Rusnok the order to form a government, although the coalition 's statement 101 (of 200) deputies to support Němcovás had submitted.
