Sakova: New way of choosing Police Corps chief will be 'anything but apolitical'

The manner in which the coalition intends to choose new Police Corps presidents will be "the opposite of an apolitical selection process", independent MP and ex-interior minister Denisa Sakova has said. "The coalition agreement according to which the police chief will be hand-picked by the interior minister, with the minister also able to dismiss them at any point, is the exact opposite of [the coalition's previous] statement that the selection should be apolitical," she wrote on Facebook. "Another thing I find strange is that such an important change will be proposed via an MPs proposal instead of a government one, as if the government has completely ceased to function."
