An annual memorial ceremony to commemorate Czech victims of the Roma and Sinti Holocaust was held at the site of a WWII concentration camp for Roma at Lety in South Bohemia on Sunday. Czech President Petr Pavel was among those who spoke at the solemn event.

“The Lety memorial is a reminder of crimes against those imprisoned at this concentration camp, where more than 1,300 men, women and children lost their freedom, human dignity and in many cases also their lives,” he said.

The current, stopgap memorial at Lety was unveiled by President Václav Havel in 1995 – and until this weekend he was the only Czech head of state to have attended the site’s annual ceremony.

Gwendolyn Albert, who works with the Roma affairs website Romea and took part in Sunday’s edition, said the president’s presence “elevated the annual event in the way that only a president can.”

Senate speaker Miloš Vystrčil, who was also in attendance, said next year’s opening of the new memorial ought to be an opportunity to improve relations between the majority society and the Roma.

Sunday’s ceremony marked the 80th anniversary of the transport of 420 Roma from Lety to the Auschwitz extermination camp.

Jitka Svobodová, a Czech artist who began her career as a painter before transitioning to drawings, has passed away at the age of 81. Despite being denied enrollment at Prague’s Academy of Fine Arts multiple times, she eventually got in in 1961.

At the time of her death, Jitka Svobodová had a retrospective at the Prague City Gallery. Her work will continue to be remembered and celebrated for years to come.

Open House Prague is a unique event that allows members of the public to explore the city’s architecture. This year, more than 100 buildings will be open to the public, including some that are normally inaccessible.

The event will also feature guided tours, lectures and discussions, with a special focus on the work of three renowned architects: Karel Prager, Věra Machoninová and Antonin Viktor Barvitius.

Open House Prague is a great opportunity to learn more about the city’s architecture and to appreciate the work of its architects. It’s a chance to explore the city in a new way and to gain a deeper understanding of its history and culture.

The latest poll by Kantar agency suggests that the ANO party would have come first in the general elections held at the turn of May with 30.5 percent of the vote. The Together bloc, which is in government with the Mayors and the Pirates, would have taken 25 percent of the vote. The Civic Democrats, Pirates, Freedom and Direct Democracy, Mayors, TOP 09, Social Democrats and Christian Democrats would have all just cleared the 5 percent threshold.

The survey indicates that the current government coalition would be unable to form a majority again. This could lead to a period of political uncertainty in the country as the parties attempt to form a new government.

On Saturday, Czech President Petr Pavel and the speakers of both houses of the Czech Parliament, Markéta Adamová Pekarová and Miloš Vyštrcil, attended a memorial ceremony at the site of the World War II concentration camp for Roma at Lety in South Bohemia.

The event was held to commemorate the victims of the Roma and Sinti Holocaust in Bohemia. President Pavel spoke of the need for the majority society to improve its relations with the Roma minority. This was the first time a Czech president had attended the annual event since Václav Havel in the 1990s.

In 2018, the state bought the pig farm that had been built at the site in the 1970s. The farm has since been razed and a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust is due to be unveiled next year. The memorial ceremony was a reminder of the importance of remembering the past and of the need to continue to strive for a better future.

Prime Minister Petr Fiala has made it clear that the government’s austerity package is not up for negotiation. The package, which was published on Thursday, includes plans to save CZK 94 billion this year through the discontinuation of non-investment subsidies, taxation changes, lay-offs and other measures.

The government is also planning to reform the state old-age pension system. Mr. Fiala said that the cabinet would only make alterations to its plans if there were mistakes in the drafts.

The austerity package has been met with criticism from some quarters, but the Prime Minister has made it clear that the government will not be swayed by pressure and will not change the essential elements of the package.

The decision to cancel the resolutions from 1970-1982 was made in order to protect the Czech Republic’s interests and to ensure that the country is not taken advantage of. The government also noted that the resolutions were not in line with the current legal framework.

The decision to cancel the resolutions has been welcomed by many, as it will help to ensure that the Czech Republic is not taken advantage of. It also opens up the possibility of demanding taxes and rent from Russia, even three years retroactively.
