Minister wants special ID cards for pregnant women

The Czech minister without portfolio Dzamila Stehlikova plans to introduce special identity cards for pregnant women, which would give them priority in queues and on public transport. Saturday's edition of Mlada fronta Dnes reports that the minister wants to begin a trial run with the cards in a Czech city by the start of next year. Some critics have dismissed the proposal as a "populist" move.
