Allow me to append a short summary in English:

- The Czech government adopted a new directive titled "The restart of DNSSEC and IPv6 enrollment in the government"

- Until yesterday, no administration on the European continent has made such a decisive step as setting a end-of-support date for IPv4

- Selected date is highly symbolic, the 6th of June, 2032, the 20th anniversary of the World IPv6 day

- This decision has already sparked discussion on the RIPE NCC forums

- "It's a signal to all internet players to take IPv6 seriously"

- Nevertheless, the EU itself has already taken even greater leap towards IPv6 adoption

I assume that this means that ipv6 will be supported by 100% of Czech ISPs, but still, Czech citizens are supposed to be able to access Czech government sites even if they are abroad. Many countries don't have much ipv6 adoption yet. Is this even legal?

Odd question. The Czech government is the entity defining what is legal.

No. Like in any modern democratic country, it is legislature and not government defining what is legal.

The judicial branch decide what's legal and what is not in most modern democratic country by interpreting laws written by the legislature. However, in parliamentary systems, like UK or Canada, the government mostly control the legislature and impose its agenda. I'm unsure about Czech republic but clear power separation like the US is uncommon.

You are correct, Czechia is a parliamentary democracy. Usually, the government is formed by the parties that together have a legislative majority in the lesser chamber.

I should clarify that this is not a law, rather a "government decision" (a la "executive order") on how to act on it's law. Forgive me, I'm not well versed in legal English, and the systems are quite different.
