CZThe article discusses the Czech government's plan under Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to achieve full control over the state-owned energy giant ČEZ, including the purchase of minority shareholders outside the national budget. The plan involves selling 49% of non-production assets through a new subsidiary and using the proceeds to buy out minority shareholders in the production division. However, ten economists and energy experts have criticized this approach, arguing it is disadvantageous for both the state and the energy sector. They question whether this method is necessary for building nuclear power plants or controlling energy prices during crises. The article contrasts Babiš’s current strategy with the previous government led by Petr Fiala, which had ambitious but controversial plans for energy control, including a 'windfall tax' on minority shareholders. It also highlights Babiš’s past decisions, such as rejecting financial guarantees for the construction of the Temelin nuclear plant in 2014, which delayed progress. Despite initial resistance, Babiš has now accepted the need for state guarantees to build new nuclear facilities.
