The Czech Republic Heading to the Polls in 2023

Czechia is heading to the polls to elect a new president in January to replace the controversial Miloš Zeman after a ten-year tenure in office. While it is unlikely that any candidate will win the majority of the votes in the first round, three have emerged as leading contenders to enter a run-off. The ANO party, which sits with the liberal and centrist Renew Europe Group in the EU Parliament, supports former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, currently polling at around 27%. The centre-right and national-conservative SPOLU alliance of ODS (ECR Group in the EU Parliament), KDU-ČSL and TOP 09 (EPP Group) endorsed three candidates; Petr Pavel, a non-partisan and former military general, polling at around 25%, and Danuše Nerudová, a non-partisan and economics professor, polling at around the same level. Currently rising in the polls, she would be the first woman to hold the position. The last of the three candidates endorsed by SPOLU, Fischer, has little chance of making it into the second round as per current polling (5-6%). Fischer is a former diplomat and senator. He won 10.2% in the first round of the 2018 Presidential election. Marek Hilšer, head of his own centrist Marek Hilšer do Senátu...

Coronavirus Drugs to Reach Czech Pharmacies in January

The Czech Republic has taken delivery of coronavirus drugs Paxlovid and Lagevrio, with the Health Minister working on making sure the drug reaches pharmacies as quickly as possible. Patients with national health insurance will not have to pay for them. At the moment, both drugs can be bought only in some hospital pharmacies and only with a paper prescription. Paxlovid is an oral antiviral pill that can be taken at home to help keep high-risk patients from getting so sick that they need to be hospitalized. So, if you test positive for the coronavirus and you are eligible to take the pills, you can take them at home and lower your risk of going to the hospital. The drug, developed by Pfizer, has a lot of positives: It had an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization and death in unvaccinated people in the clinical trial that supported the EUA. Studies outside of the laboratory have since confirmed Paxlovid’s effectiveness among people who have been vaccinated. It’s cheaper than many other COVID-19 drugs. Lagevrio, from the US company Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, is less effective, reducing the risk of hospitalization or death by 48%. Lagevrio is authorized for the treatment of mild to moderate...

History of Prague’s First Jazz Club

Reduta Jazz Club: The Revolutionary History Of Prague’s First Jazz Venue

Reduta Jazz Club is an iconic music venue in Prague with a wide international reputation. The first of its kind in Europe, Reduta’s history tells of the enduring and passionate traits of Czech culture. We take a look at the history of this revolutionary venue. Reduta Jazz Club was born out of the turbulent 20th century in the then Czechoslovakia. During these dramatic years, Europe faced two World Wars, The Cold War and many more conflicts that destroyed, repressed and severely altered the cultural landscapes of the area. In the middle of this, the Czech Republic was forced to continually reinvent itself, redefining its borders and political allies, and it was from this atmosphere of uncertainty that Reduta came to life. The first of its kind in Europe, Reduta opened its doors in 1957 through a commitment to art from the owner and other aspiring artists in Prague. From its opening onwards, Reduta Jazz Club became an icon in Prague. It represented a place of expression in a time of political conformity, and this bred some of the most exciting jazz and cabaret performances of the time. The signature performance style here was the ‘Text-Appeals’: literary cabaret that fused improvisations in both words and...

“Czechia Will be Part of ‘Fourth Reich’, Says Putin’s Right Hand Medvedev

“The Fourth Reich will be created, encompassing the territory of Germany and its satellites, i.e., Poland, the Baltic states, Czechia, Slovakia, the Kyiv Republic, and other outcasts,” said Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia and a staunch supporter of the war in Ukraine. This was the fourth of a list of 10 predictions Medvedev made for 2023, which he shared on Twitter. Medvedev’s economic predictions Several of his other predictions related to economic and financial concerns, including that “Oil price[s] will rise to $150 a barrel, and gas price will top $5.000 per 1.000 cubic meters.” He also claimed that “all the largest stock markets and financial activity will leave the US and Europe and move to Asia.” He further stated, “The Bretton Woods system of monetary management will collapse, leading to the IMF and World Bank crash. Euro and Dollar will stop circulating as the global reserve currencies. Digital fiat currencies will be actively used instead.” Medvedev’s predictions for Europe When it comes to European relations, Medvedev claimed that the UK will rejoin the European Union, leading to its downfall. “The EU will collapse after the UK’s return,” he said. “Euro will drop out of use as the former EU currency.” He...

President Zeman Urges to Support Ukraine “Until Russians Withdraw”

Czech President Milos Zeman has called for further support for Ukraine, including military assistance, and expressed confidence that Russia would eventually have to pull from Ukraine. The president announced this in his traditional televised Christmas address, Ukrinform reports. “I am convinced that sooner or later the pressure of free countries will force Russia to leave the territory of Ukraine,” said the head of state in a greeting that was broadcast on Czech TV channels. “The president called the Russian aggression against Ukraine “the most significant event of the passing year.” Zeman admitted that he personally has always been a supporter of “correct” economic relations with the Russian Federation, especially through the supply of relatively cheap energy. “But there are situations where economic interests have to give way to security interests. And this aggression threatens global security, and thus the security of the Czech Republic. Therefore, I fully support the assistance of the Czech Republic to Ukraine, which is fighting, and I believe that sooner or later the pressure of free countries will force Russia to leave the territory of Ukraine,” Zeman said. He mentioned among the challenges energy crisis and inflation, which are also a result of Russian aggression. This...

Czechia’s Frightening Increase in Food Prices

Czechia may produce much of its own food, but that has not stopped the country from seeing a dramatic increase in food prices. On top of the usual suspects such as rising energy prices, part of the problem for Czechs is that a substantial amount of domestically produced food is exported abroad. Food prices rose by more than a quarter in the Czech Republic in October. This was not only due to soaring energy prices but also partly because Czech stores copy prices in Germany, which has also seen an explosive growth in food prices this year. The data shows just how bad food inflation in Czechia has become. The country experienced the largest percentage rise in sugar prices in Europe; the second-largest in vegetable oils; and the third-largest price increase in butter, milk, and bread. Part of the problem is that Czech producers continued to export many of these commodities abroad, creating a shortage at home and keeping prices high. The situation the country finds itself in reveals some of the downsides of free trade and globalization, in which companies and producers can often profit more by selling key products abroad rather than selling domestically. The increase in the price of sugar...
