Happy Monday: The baker broke her promise. The biggest government purge begins

The story of Helena Langšádlová’s resignation resembled a bitter comedy from the beginning. The management of TOP 09 negotiated the end of the minister due to her “invisibility” in order to subsequently nominate a completely unknown representative of Havířov for this post – which includes two offices, one secretary and a social network administrator for 0.15 hours.

After the events of last week, even the former rector of the University of Silesia in Opava, Pavel Tuleja, will not be the minister for science – despite the fact that Markéta Pekarová Adamová explicitly promised us that she would become one. His tie was broken by dubious articles in predatory magazines.

Helena Langšádlová, you’d better wait a few days before cleaning out the office. God knows what will crack on those next in line.

After this botched exchange, Petr Fiala’s government has to fix its reputation and replace someone in a way that makes sense – that is, worse for better. Although Fialo’s cabinet is extremely unpopular, the prime minister seems afraid to point the finger at specific members of his government. We decided to help Petr Fial and select several individuals who are ripe for exchange.

For example, Marian Jurečka, for whom, of course, you can choose the reason yourself based on the first article that pops up after entering this name into the search engine. Recently, however, we have been interested in his idea to increase levies for the childless, which turned out to be so stupid that the ANO movement stood against Jureček’s proposal alongside the coalition parties.

And which other ministers could Prime Minister Fiala replace tomorrow? That’s what Jindřich Šídlo will tell you on Happy Monday.
