💸 Spending

Prague is facing scrutiny over its recent acquisition of 25 oak benches for its riverside areas at a cost of 5 million Korun, with some designs sparking public concern. Concurrently, the Prague Zoo is reportedly experiencing internal workplace issues, leading to the resignation of female keepers after complaints about their superior. In the realm of public services, the education sector is drawing attention as Michal Kaderka, chairman of the Teachers' Platform, has criticized Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's understanding of education, stating that government promises are being jeopardized by the current budget. Meanwhile, a major railway tender is nearing its conclusion amidst lingering questions. Other notable domestic stories include the end of production for a legendary Czech weapon, once banned by the Soviets, and a health alert regarding tropical diseases increasingly approaching Czechia through mosquito bites. Local communities around the Macocha Caves are also expressing concerns about infrastructure if the site were to receive a UNESCO listing.
