Radnici čeških javnih medijskih servisa najavili su štrajk za ponedjeljak, 22. lipnja zbog planiranog ukidanja pretplata i povezanih rezova u troškovima.
Predstavnici osoblja javnih radio i televizijskih servisa najavili su jednodnevni štrajk u Pragu za sljedeći ponedjeljak.
Rekli su da nemaju drugu mogućnost, budući da je vlada premijera Andreja Babiša ignorirala sve pozive na objektivnu raspravu. Ne zna se kako će štrajk utjecati na program.
U ponedjeljak je desničarska vlada usuglasila nacrt zakona kojim se predviđa ukidanje trenutačnih naknada za emitiranje. Češki parlament još nije dao svoje odobrenje.
U budućnosti će se javni radio i televizijski servisi financirati izravno iz državnog proračuna. Kritičari to vide kao napad na njihovu neovisnost od političkog utjecaja.
Reformu bi također pratilo značajno smanjenje potrošnje. Radio i televizija trebali bi sljedeće godine dobiti oko 15 posto manje sredstava nego što je prethodno planirano, rekao je ministar kulture Oto Klempir.
Češkom vlada koalicija koju čine desničarska populistička stranka ANO koju predvodi milijarder Babiš i dvije male stranke krajnje desnice.
Češki predsjednik Petr Pavel kritizirao je ove planove. Pavel je rekao da u trenutačnom sustavu naknada za emitiranje ne vidi ništa što ne funkcionira i što bi trebalo promijeniti.
Ako parlament odobri zakon, Pavel bi mogao staviti veto. Takav veto mogao bi se poništiti samo apsolutnom većinom zastupnika.
Trenutačno svako kućanstvo u Češkoj plaća 55 kruna (2,28 eura) mjesečno za radio i 150 kruna (6,21 eura) za televiziju.

tportalIndependentLeft4 days agoEmployees of Czech public broadcasters have announced a one-day strike scheduled for June 22, protesting against the planned abolition of broadcast fees and related cost reductions.

The reform would also result in a significant reduction in funding, with an estimated 15% decrease in resources for radio and television in the comingyear

HRT (Hrvatska radiotelevizija)State / PublicCenter4 days agoEmployees of Czech public broadcasters have announced a strike for Monday, July 22, due to planned changes in funding and cost reductions. The strike comes after the government, led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, ignored calls for objective discussion. The proposed reform would eliminate current broadcasting fees and fund public radio and television directly from the state budget, which critics argue undermines their independence from political influence. The reform also includes a significant reduction in spending, with public broadcasters expected to receive around 15% less funding than was
