🛫 Departures

Prague Airport is searching for a new leader after Radomr Lašk resigned from the post. Mr Lašk, who had been in the role for less than three months, cited personal reasons for his departure. The Ministry of Finance accepted the resignation without further comment; the airport's runway remains busier than its executive office. Andrej Babiš has described his ANO party’s failure to win a single Senate seat as a catastrophe, a rare admission that has prompted former members to speak openly about the internal mood. While the party leadership considers its future, experts have written to the Prime Minister alleging that a minister named Klempř's tenure is defined by incompetence or malice, specifically regarding plans to redirect cinematography funding. Parliament is scheduled to vote for the upcoming year on increasing state healthcare contributions for pensioners and the unemployed, alongside a bill on gender representation in boardrooms. Meanwhile, the industrial sector has a new focal point as billionaire Jaroslav Drda secured a controlling stake in Tatra Trucks.
