Ministerial Christmas parties in a time of austerity. Jurečka organizes a meeting for 400 thousand
Czech Labour Minister Marian Jurečka (KDU-ČSL) will hold an Advent meeting for the employees of his ministry before Christmas. According to MF DNES, he will spend CZK 400 000 on catering for this event alone. All this at a time when the ministries are looking for savings, cutting jobs and laying off some officials towards the end of the year. According to a survey conducted by the editorial office among ministries, about half of them prefer to skip the traditional “Christmas party” this year.
