On September 24, the government approved a package of consolidation measures. For example, they reduced the number of days on which the ban on retail sales applies. The reason is to prevent dampening of economic growth and application practice requirements. They also approved the freezing of MPs’ salaries.
After the new work, there will be 5.5 days a year during which it is not possible to order or agree with the employee to work, which is the sale of goods to the final consumer and related work. These days are January 1, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, December 24 after 12 noon, December 25 and 26.
Slovakia was particularly outraged by the fact that the government decided to cancel the non-working day on November 17, i.e. the Day of the Fight for Freedom and Democracy. Several companies, institutions and even schools took matters into their own hands and decided to give their employees and students time off.
They delved into this sensitive topic in the Incognito show on Czech television Prima. The Incognito show is a fun show in which famous guessers try to discover the profession of a secret guest. Slovak presenter Adela Vinczeová appeared alongside Jakub Prachař, Ondřej Brzobohatý and Richard Genzer.
Before the guessing begins, familiar faces guess what the guest could do. “I think, because we have the holiday of November 17 in almost two weeks, that you will be sewing state flags. You are in charge of that,” declared Brzobohatý. “I’ve heard various d**ility, but this…” Prachar began to laugh.
Immediately Adela Vincze spoke up. “This is otherwise solid d**ility. And excuse me. Do you still have November 17 as a holiday?” she asked. “Yes, we still have it. We are not as progressive as you. But you’ve undone a lot now,” moderator Libor Bouček responded.
“We have to go to work, we consolidate, we have to work,” declared Vinczeová on Czech television. You can watch the video at the end of the article.
