State Award to be Presented to Daughter of WWII Resistance Fighter

President Pavel has announced that he will award Zdena Mašínová, daughter of the executed anti-Nazi resistance fighter Josef Mašín, with the Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk at a state awards ceremony on October 28. Mašínová is still debating whether to accept the award, as her family fought against totalitarian regimes out of duty, not for awards.

Last year, former president Miloš Zeman posthumously awarded Josef Mašín with a state honour, but Mašínová refused to accept the award from him. However, she has said that she would accept the award from President Pavel.

Mašínová is also the sister of Ctirad and Josef Mašín, who put up armed resistance against the communist regime. While they escaped to West Berlin in the 1950s, Zdena stayed in the country and was persecuted by the regime until the revolution.

On Wednesday, the two leaders discussed the current state of bilateral relations between the Czech Republic and Italy, as well as the European Union and the challenges it is facing. They also discussed energy cooperation and the potential for new technologies to help both countries.

Supreme Court Reverses Decision on Posthumous Czech Citizenship for Countess

The Supreme Court has overturned a ruling against an official who granted Czechoslovak citizenship to Josefina Czerninová, a countess who left Czechoslovakia in 1945. The court ruled that the conclusion that the official had behaved negligently was in extreme contradiction with the factual findings of the case.

Czerninová had been deprived of her property by the Beneš Decrees, but in 1999, the authorities posthumously issued her a Czechoslovak citizenship certificate. This enabled her descendants to reclaim millions of square metres of forest and other real estate in southern and western Bohemia, including a castle in the Karlovy Vary region.

In 2013, Ivana Odarčenková, one of the officials who made the decision to issue Czerninová a citizenship certificate, was handed a one-day prison sentence, suspended for one year, for negligence and mishandling of the task of a public official. The Supreme Court objected to the criminal prosecution of officials simply for arriving at a legal opinion contrary to the one the prosecutors would have liked.

Decreasing Joblessness: A Positive Trend

The Czech Labour Office has reported a slight decrease in unemployment in April, with the rate dropping from 3.7 percent to 3.6 percent. This is the lowest unemployment rate in the entire European Union.

The number of unemployed people in the Czech Republic decreased by 11,800 in April, bringing the total number of unemployed people to 261,700. This is a positive sign for the Czech economy, as it indicates that more people are finding employment.

The Czech government has implemented a number of measures to help reduce unemployment, such as providing job training and financial incentives for employers to hire more people. These measures have been successful in helping to reduce unemployment in the country.

The Czech Republic is an attractive destination for foreign investors, due to its low unemployment rate and strong economy. This is likely to continue to attract more investment in the future, which will help to create more jobs and further reduce unemployment.

CZU: A Unique Life Sciences Education

At the Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU) in Prague, international students are finding a unique educational experience that combines business and economics with life sciences and agriculture. 24-year-old Taine Rose from New Zealand, a student of the Faculty of Economics and Management, says it’s the diversity in his education that he loves most about the study culture at CZU. Ondřej Votinský, who works in the Department of International Relations at the university, says the variety of study programs is something that should be highlighted.

The centralised campus contributes to creating a closely connected environment for international students to thrive in. Nitkamon Iamprasertkun, a student from Thailand studying in the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, chose to live in a student dorm while studying in Prague. She describes it as a great opportunity to meet new people from different universities in Prague.

Taine has taken to sports and athletics as a means to make new friends and fill his days in Prague. Unlike Nitkamon, Taine and his partner opted for living in private housing here in Prague. He is also working on his Czech in order to better acclimatize to living in Prague.

The number of international students continues to grow at CZU, with no end of growth in sight. With the number of internationals continuing to grow exponentially, the city of Prague has had to respond, becoming more friendly to those non-Czech speakers and open to a diversity of cultures cohabiting in the city.

Rise of Social Network Addiction in Children

The study, which surveyed 1,000 children aged 11 to 15, found that girls were more likely to be addicted to social networks than boys, with nine percent of girls and seven percent of boys being addicted. The study also found that the proportion of children addicted to social networks had increased from five percent in 2018.

The research team leader, Michal Kalman, said that the results of the study were concerning and that parents should be aware of the potential risks of social media addiction. He also said that parents should be aware of the signs of addiction, such as spending too much time on social media, and should take steps to limit their children’s use of social media.

Markéta Davidová Wins Biathlete of the Year for Fifth Consecutive Year

Members of the Czech Biathlon Union have voted Markéta Davidová as the best Czech biathlete of the 2022/23 season. The twenty-six-year-old blew away the competition with 261 points, beating even the best of the men, Michal Krčmář, who came in second place with 227 points.

Krčmář praised Davidová for her achievements, saying that she was the clear number one and deserved to win. Davidová ranked in the top ten in World Cup events nine times in the past season, and was the only one of her Czech compatriots to be twice awarded a medal.

At a ceremony at Prague’s Karlín Forum on Wednesday evening, Davidová received her award and spoke to Czech Radio. She said that although she was happy to have won, the main draw of the awards event for her was the social aspect.

Davidová also wanted to highlight the achievements of the next generation of Czech biathletes, such as 18-year-old Daniel Malušek, who won gold in the relay at the junior world championships.

Davidová was herself a promising athlete from a young age. After her Olympic premiere in PyeongChang in 2018, she went to the Beijing Olympics four years later in hopes of winning a medal. She almost won gold in the endurance race, but missed the final shot and fell to sixth place. She was also close to winning gold in the mass start, but in the end came in fourth. However, she did become world champion in the endurance race in 2021. With her motto “Be better than yesterday”, there may yet be a gold medal in sight at the next Winter Olympics in 2026.
