PRAGUE (Reuters) -Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala's new centre-right government won a confidence vote in parliament on Thursday, sealing its authority as it takes over amid a spike in coronavirus cases, rising inflation, a deep fiscal gap and challenges posed by Europe's green transition.

The result was expected as the five-party coalition won 108 votes in the 200-seat lower chamber of parliament in an election last October.
