Czech seniors to government: keep printed leaflets!

Czech seniors are protesting against a plan to reduce the distribution of printed discount leaflets, which many rely on for shopping deals. The Ministry of Environment wants to restrict wasteful practices in advertising and proposes a special fee for distributors of printed material. The website Penize.cz reports that the Senior Citizens' Council argues that online alternatives are not feasible for many elderly people, with a significant portion lacking access to the internet or smartphones. They claim the proposal would socially discriminate against them.
