On 20 March 2025, a consortium of NGOs working with migrants in Czechia offered their commentary on the government’s proposal for legislative amendments to tighten asylum and return policy. The organisations signing this open letter expressed concerns on the procedure through which this proposal is taken ahead. According to the open letter, instead of a government proposal, the law is to be submitted as a parliamentary initiative, which means bypassing key stages of the legislative process, such as the interdepartmental comment procedure, the impact assessment (RIA) or the opinion of the Legislative Council of the Government. The full text of the open letter is available here.
