Jiří Rusnok government
The government of Jiří Rusnok formed the government of the Czech Republic between July 10, 2013 and January 29, 2014 .
After Petr Nečas resigned as prime minister on June 17, 2013, the previous coalition agreed to continue working with Miroslava Němcová as the new prime minister. President Miloš Zeman , who according to the Czech Constitution is responsible for the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister, disregarded this nomination, supported by 101 (out of 200) MPs, instead appointed Jiří Rusnok as the new Prime Minister on June 25 and entrusted him with a government of experts to build. On July 10, Rusnok submitted his final cabinet list and the president swore in the new ministers. In addition to a few independent experts, the cabinet also included some people close to the President. With Radek Augustin, the then SPOZ provided the office manager in the government office. All members were non-party, but Foreign Minister Jan Kohout , Labor Minister František Koníček and Justice Minister Marie Benešová were members of the ČSSD immediately before joining the government . Under pressure from the party, however, they suspended their membership when they joined the cabinet. Other members of the government, namely the Prime Minister himself and Interior Minister Martin Pecina, had previously been members of the Social Democrats like Miloš Zeman himself, but were later considered supporters of the President and the SPOZ he founded. For the public, the nomination of the former Prime Minister Jan Fischer as the new Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, who had stood against Zeman in the presidential election a few months earlier, was a surprise .
The cabinet had to present itself within 30 days of the confidence vote in the House of Representatives . Even in advance, it was considered unlikely that the government would gain the confidence of the House of Representatives. In the confidence vote on August 7, 2013, 93 MPs voted for the government and 100 against it. The Social Democrats , Communists and MPs from the Věci veřejné party, as well as some non-attached MPs , voted for the government . The MPs from the previously ruling parties ODS , TOP 09 and LIDEM, as well as some non-attached MPs, including the two MPs from the People's Socialists , voted against the government . Immediately before the confidence vote, President Zeman announced that he would leave the government in office for the time being, even if the confidence vote was not achieved. However, the previous coalition of ODS, TOP 09 and LIDEM did not receive its own arithmetical majority against the government, which would have been seen as approval for a government under Miroslava Němcová. Two MPs from the ODS and the chairwoman of LIDEM Karolína Peake did not take part in the vote. After the vote, the parties agreed on early elections as a way out of the political crisis. According to the Czech constitution, the government remained in office until the inauguration of the new government formed after these new elections on January 29, 2014.
