Ex-Vice PM Karolína Peake told MFD magazine in March 2014 that the central figure of the government of PM Petr Nečas was the head of his office, Jana Nagyová. "For the first time," MFD wrote then, "we are learning directly from a cabinet member the extent to which Nagyová, a mere government worker, got out of the control of politicians and how much power she was able to amass." Peake indicated that it was Nagyová who saw to her firing after just eight days as defense minister.

Prague, Sept 15 (CTK) - Historian Frantisek Hybl and actor and film director Jiri Havelka were presented with the Rudolf Medek Prize today, the thing they have in common being mainly the massacre near Prerov in June 1945, with which they dealt or are dealing in their works. Hybl, 80, dealt with the post-war massacre at the Svedske sance hill near Prerov, north Moravia, for over 30 years and was previously awarded the German Federal Cross of Merit for his work.
Havelka, 41, has focused on the issue within his project in the National Theatre in Prague.
A total of 265 Carpathian Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks were massacred at Svedske sance in the night of June 18-19, 1945. At the time, more than one month after WWII end in Europe, two transports met at the local railway station. In one transport, the Carpathian Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks were returning home to Slovakia from the Sudetenland, the Czech border region, where they had been placed in wartime. The other transport carried members of the 17th infantry regiment from Bratislava-Petrzalka, which was previously part of the 1st Czechoslovak Military Corps.

Nearly 20 years after China was admitted to the World Trade Organization, China has not become more democratic or free. And Western capital has ultimately only strengthened China’s communist regime.
“We were fooling ourselves,” says Clyde Prestowitz.
Prestowitz was a leader in the first U.S. trade mission to China in 1982, and he’s served as an adviser to four presidents, both Republican and Democrat. He is the author of “The World Turned Upside Down: America, China, and the Struggle for Global Leadership.”
By investing in Chinese companies with intimate ties to the Chinese regime, companies in the free world have inadvertently strengthened “this anti-free speech, anti-liberty, anti-soul Communist Party,” Prestowitz says. “It’s about fundamental human values.”

June 16, 2021, Hon. Jakub Kulhánek, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Černín Palace, Loretánské náměstí 5, 118 00 Prague 1
RE: Retaliation against whistleblower Jana Chaloupková
Dear Hon. Minister Kulhánek:
We are writing from Whistleblowing International and National Whistleblower Center (NWC) to express our deep concern regarding the treatment of Jana Chaloupková, a career-long diplomat who has served in the Ministry for 28 years.
Whistleblowing International, based in Berlin, is the only independent civil society organization that supports and defends whistleblowers worldwide, investigates corruption cases, advocates for stronger whistleblower rights, and works to hold criminals to account. Its leadership is a long-standing advisor to the EU, UNODC, OECD, Council of Europe, and public officials and agencies in Europe and elsewhere.
National Whistleblower Center, based in Washington, D.C., is the leading non-partisan nonprofit organization in the field of whistleblower law and rights. The Center’s leadership has litigated cases on behalf of whistleblowers both U.S. and beyond, including obtaining the largem reward ever paid to an individual whistleblower. NWC has been advocating for whistleblowers around the world since 1984. NWC rarely issues letters on behalf of individual whistleblowers but Ms. Chaloupková’s case is particularly concerning given her status as a diplomat and the implications retaliation against her may have for potential whistleblowers everywhere.
