🔌 Blackouts

Dozens of Czech media editors-in-chief have collectively called on public officials to reject violence, adhere to basic principles of civil communication, and respect free access to information. This appeal emphasizes the importance of these principles as fundamental boundaries for the political scene. The nation is also commemorating the 90th anniversary of the birth of Václav Havel, the revered playwright, dissident, and former president. Commemorative events are taking place across the country, prompting reflections on his enduring relevance and messages. In other news, Andrej Babiš's ANO party is strategically selecting opponents for its upcoming Senate election campaign. The Czech Republic is also experiencing a rapid increase in debt across individuals, businesses, and the state, with mortgages forming the largest share of household borrowing. Lawmaker Filip Turek apologized to Seznam.cz on Facebook for a false claim, though Seznam considers the apology insufficient.
