Czech billionaire Prime Minister Andrej Babiš on Monday rejected the European Commission’s multi-year draft budget as “completely unacceptable”, lashing out at spending priorities imposed by Brussels. While the commission has earmarked funds for workforce training and requalification, Babiš believes more should be spent on investment. “Brussels is again trying to impose its ideas when we need to direct money towards investments,” said the chemicals, food and media mogul, listed by Forbes as the second wealthiest Czech citizen.
