The government has recently made new appointments to the supervisory boards of state-owned companies, including figures who were unsuccessful election candidates. This comes as the justice system faces scrutiny following contrasting verdicts for Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who was convicted, and President of the Chamber of Deputies Tomio Okamura, who was acquitted, sparking public discussion on judicial independence.
Economically, a new poll reveals widespread public dissatisfaction with the proposed state budget deficit of 389 billion koruna, with 62% finding it unacceptable. Further concerns are highlighted by a report indicating last year's minimum wage was insufficient for basic needs and rent, and government plans to address a dentist shortage currently lack allocated funds.
On a positive note, tram services have resumed near Prague's National Museum after approximately fifteen months of track renovations.
