Czech Social Experiment: Testing the Attitude Towards Ukrainian Refugees

The actor, under the guise of an “aggressive resident,” chased away the Ukrainian woman to check whether the Czechs would protect her.

In Czech Ostrava, documentarian Jan Latal conducted a social experiment: under the guise of an ordinary passer-by, he began to depict aggressive communication with a refugee from Ukraine, reports TG channel “Ukraine 365“.

The purpose of this event was to check whether the residents of the Czech Republic would stand up for a girl from Ukraine.

The actor, who played an “aggressive local resident” of retirement age, appeared at a public transport stop.

He pretended to insult the Ukrainian woman and drive her out of the country.

“Are you from Ukraine? What did you forget here?” – he “attacked” the girl.

It is noteworthy that in all eight cases the Czechs stood up for her.

Thus, the experiment showed the true attitude of Czech citizens towards Ukrainians.

Previously President of the Czech Republic Peter Pavel said that there is no other choice but to continue supporting Ukraine in the fight against the Russian invasion if the country does not want to submit to the Russian Federation.

Let us remind you that in the Czech Republic they collected 500 thousand euros for “gift for Putin” – a Black Hawk helicopter that will defend Ukraine.

Moment from the match Czech Republic – Faeské ostrovy.

Football players from Spain, Scotland and Turkey advanced to next year’s European Championship in Germany. The Spaniards won Sunday’s qualifying match 1:0 on the soil of Norway, and the northerners cannot catch up with their opponent or the Scots in points in the A-group.

The only goal for the Spaniards was scored by Gavi in the 49th minute, who got the ball behind goalkeeper Örjan Nyland after two unsuccessful attempts by his teammates. The goal was still checked by VAR for a possible offside, but in the end it was valid and proved to be key for advancing to the eighth EURO in a row.

The Scots suffered their first defeat in the qualification on Thursday, precisely on the soil of Spain (0:2), and are thus in second place. They will appear at the EC for the fourth time in history.

The football players of Turkey won the promotion as well. In Sunday’s match, they won 4:0 over Latvia, and only Wales can overtake them in Group I. Together with the Croatians, the latter can equal the Turks in terms of points, but it is Turkey that has the highest number of points (6) in the mutual matches of this trio.

The Welsh and the Croatians, who lost 1-2 in Cardiff on Sunday, have four each, but the Balkans are no longer scheduled to face either of the two teams. The Turks advanced to the sixth European Championship in history.

The Romanians took advantage of Switzerland’s hesitation to move to the top of Group I after a smooth 4-0 win over Andorra. The home team built a two-goal lead within less than half an hour – Nicolae Stanciu scored the winner and Ianis Hagi added another moments later. Andorra is in the last sixth place with two points and cannot advance.

The narrowest margin was 1:0 won by the Czechs, who defeated the Faroe Islands. Tomáš Souček scored three points for the home team in the 76th minute from the penalty spot. His team is currently second in the E-group table, two points behind Albania, on whose soil they lost 0:3 on Thursday.

The Impact of Declining Card Acceptance on Cash Usage in the Czech Republic: Results from a Recent Survey

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 5, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

A quarter of people in the Czech Republic have encountered the fact that they stopped accepting payment cards in a store. Residents of the eastern half of the country noticed this problem more often. This follows from a June survey conducted by the STEM/MARK agency among 509 respondents for the ATM provider Euronet. The authors of the survey presented its results to journalists on Tuesday.

According to the survey, almost half of the people who have met in the last year that traders they stopped taking cards, they usually carry enough cash with them. A third try to find an ATM and a fifth go elsewhere where cards are accepted, Euronet Executive Director Ondřej Kozák said during the presentation of the survey.

“Compared to last year, the number of people who use cash frequently increased by 11 percentage points. Overall, this is 42 percent of respondents. The frequent use of cash was mainly reported by the residents of Moravia,” said Kozák.

According to the survey, a third of people use cash on a daily basis, last year it was a quarter. At least once a week uses cash up to 94 percent of people, the survey found.

According to him, the main reason people pay in cash remains the same. He is that businessman doesn’t take cards. Other reasons include the need to change habits or greater control over one’s own finances. The most frequently spontaneously mentioned reason is the payment of a small amount.

Poor availability of ATMs

For the Czech Republic, the first choice for obtaining cash is to withdraw from an ATM. 66 percent of people come here at least once a month. Men and residents of larger cities tend to make more frequent selections.

“We keep meeting the bad one availability of ATMs especially in small towns where they are most needed. Less than a third of the respondents said that they have an ATM very far from their place of residence. Residents of municipalities with less than 1,000 inhabitants have the worst accessibility, where only 22 percent of them have an ATM within walking distance. On the other hand, residents of Prague state that the availability of ATMs is definitely sufficient,” said Kozák.

45 percent of people would welcome more ATMs in places where they move during the day. The greatest interest in them is in municipalities with up to 1,000 inhabitants.

Compared to last year’s findings, according to the survey authors, the availability of ATMs has not greatly improved.

Right to cash

Behind the reluctance of some merchants to accept card payments may be, according to experts, an effort to reduce tax levies.

The Senate rejected it in February this year initiative of a group of senators around Jitka Chalánková from the ODS club and TOP 09 for the constitutional enshrining of the right to payment in cash.

Chalánková pointed to people’s concerns about the fact that cashless payments will either become mandatory in connection with the development of digitization, or that they will completely displace cash payments. In June, Chalánková stated that she was preparing a proposal that would enshrine the right of citizens not to use information technology. According to her, it would supplement her original proposal to enact the right to cash payments.

Datum	Place, stage	Result
April 26, 2004	Prague, group	Czech Republic 7:0 Kazakhstan
May 5, 2005	Vienna, group	Czech Republic 1:0 Kazakhstan
May 13, 2016	Moscow, group	Czech Republic 3:1 Kazakhstan
May 14, 2023	Riga, group	Czech Republic – Kazakhstan ONLINE

In their relatively short history, the two countries have met only three times. The first time was at the world championship in Prague in 2004. At that time, the Czech Republic beat Kazakhstan by a ratio of 7:0. Martin Ručinský scored a hat trick, Petr Průcha contributed two goals, Jaromír Jágr and David Výborný added one goal each. The Czech Republic was then eliminated in the quarter-final match against the USA.

A year later, the two teams met in the World Cup in Vienna, again in group matches. For the Czechs, the match ended unexpectedly with a narrow 1:0 win. Aleš Hemský scored the only goal of the match in the second period.

The third and so far the last match between them was again the match in the regular part of the World Cup in 2016. The Czech Republic defeated Kazakhstan with a ratio of 3:1, thanks to Tomáš Plekac and a goal by Robert Kousal. In this match, the Kazakhs scored the only goal against the Czech team in the history of mutual balance at the world championships.

The most valuable position in the history of the Kazakh national team at the World Cup is the 10th place from 2021. At the Olympic Games, the Kazakhs made their debut in 1998 in Nagano, when they surprisingly dominated the group. They were not so successful in the subsequent fights and finished in the final 8th place. In their second and so far last participation in the Olympic Games in 2006, they took 9th place.

Czechs save. The most ever recorded

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 25, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Czechs don’t have money and save on food at record levels, look for discounts and deny themselves quality food. Statisticians note the deepest drop in the period of monitoring of retail sales. Changes in the behavior of Czech customers are confirmed by the chain, reports CNN Prima News.

Data from the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) show that sales of food fell by more than 10% year-on-year. This is the most significant decrease since 2001, when this indicator has been monitored. After more than a year of rising prices, people are starting to change their purchasing behavior. The latest retail sales figures available so far for December of last year support the food research.

According to Vladimír Pikora, Chief Economist of the Comfort Finance Group, the December results are proof that people don’t have money and are saving. “The decline in real sales mainly shows the transition from more expensive food to cheaper food, or the transition from higher quality products to their substitutes. I find it alarming that the drop in food sales is the largest since statistics began. Therefore, we cannot be surprised that there are more dissatisfied people in the economy,” stated Pikora for CNN Prima News.

Retail chains are also admitting a change in the shopping behavior of Czech customers, choosing more items that they offer under their own brands at lower prices. “Demand for discounted goods is also growing. The greatest interest is in promotional goods in the form of basic foods such as eggs, butter or milk. Due to the rising prices in restaurants, we are also registering an increased interest in ready-made meals,” Lidl’s press spokesman Tomáš Myler told CNN Prima News.

Similarly, they notice differences in Kaufland. There, too, people are taking advantage of discounts and the demand for premium and luxury foods has slightly dampened. “In these cases, products of another brand are replaced. Nevertheless, there are groups of customers who are looking for premium products,” said company spokeswoman Renata Maierl.
