The Czech government, led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, has unveiled a major policy shift regarding Romani schools, with plans to close five institutions and significantly alter others. This move marks a substantial change in educational policy for the Romani community.
Meanwhile, the fate of the head of the anti-monopoly office remains uncertain as their term approaches its end, potentially leading to a conflict between President Petr Pavel and the government. Separately, a high-ranking official is facing charges for an alleged 'kneeling' incident but continues to hold their position.
In other news, Kateřina Konečná, a Member of the European Parliament, has formally resigned from the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia following internal criticism sparked by her decision to join the far-right Patriots for Europe group. Additionally, drivers near Třebíč are facing hazards on a dirt road, where deliberately placed metal spikes and nails have damaged over twenty cars.
