This MoU is the subject of a great deal of political posturing (KC's words not mine), two weeks before the election. All parties are trying their best to sway the electorate. They realize the size and importance of what we have here and are using it as a political tool. However, one individual (Zaoralek) realizes the danger in this game, as outlined in the following translated section of a Czech article yesterday:

Fiala would include the topic at a regular Senate meeting this week. He would have considered it more useful than convening an extraordinary meeting before the elections, as the KSCM aspires. "It's good to say what's going on," said Zaoralek. Lithium-related quarrels are dangerous. "It's like in the fairy tale where the robbers start banging on a bag of purported gold, but just because they're kidding, it will become rotten leaves," he said. He explained that if we all start beating, if there is a shouting that laws will change, "the investor may choose to leave. He pointed out that lithium deposits are, for example, also in Serbia. Earlier, Zaorálek said that the permit for exploration of lithium deposits in the Czech Republic was issued by the Ministry of the Environment in 2010 under the leadership of the ODS minister, and Minister Brabec from YES extended this year.

Czech needs this out of the ground as soon as possible.
