Presidential election mobilized voters in executions
An analysis by Seznam Zprav shows that the presidential election managed to bring people across the country to the polls. All candidates mobilised; in places more affected by unemployment and foreclosures, Andrej Babiš “benefited” the most. The post-election division of society into centres and peripheries has its reasons. The peripheral areas of the Czech Republic are characterised by lower voter turnout, higher unemployment and a high burden of foreclosures.

The Summer of Grace I begins, people can repay debts to municipalities or the state without interest and penalties
The summer of grace begins. Until 28 January, anyone who owes money to the state, county, municipality, their organisations or companies owned by them will be able to repay the debt and have the so-called accessory charges, i.e. interest and miscellaneous fees, forgiven. Some private companies have also joined the action and others are considering it. Lawmakers who drafted the grace summer and nonprofit organizations that help people in debt hope it will reduce the number of people with foreclosures. The grace summer could affect as many as hundreds of thousands of them. It’s the peak of autumn, but a summer of grace is beginning nonetheless.
