Motorists MP Filip Turek has apologised in writing to the environmental organisation Hnutí Duha for offensive remarks in which he linked the group to deaths during floods and called its members "parasites who needed to be eliminated". The honorary president of the Motorists party said on Facebook in April that “several people died in the 2022 floods because the activist Hnutí Duha had prevented the construction of a necessary dam.”
In the apology, Turek acknowledges that the statements were not based on fact and constituted an unjustified infringement of the organisation’s reputation.
The apology, which was ordered by the Prague Municipal Court in September, has been published on the organisation’s website.

The Metronome Prague music festival, which has previously featured Sting, Alanis Morissette and Iggy Pop, is to end after ten years, the organisers told the Czech News Agency.
The main reasons for the decision include insufficient attendance and a lack of long-term strategic partners for the festival’s future.
The 10th edition of Metronome Prague took place in June at Letňany Airport, where the festival had moved from Prague’s Exhibition Grounds. It was headlined by British singer and songwriter Sting and featured dozens of performers across three stages, with one of its highlights being Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Attendance, however, did not reach the tens of thousands of people that is usual for concerts by international stars at the Letňany venue.

The public procurement register lists economic circumstances among the reasons for the cancellation. After addressing shortcomings, including the absence of a financial analysis, the ministry plans to launch a new tender.
Some military and security analysts are concerned about the impact of the cancellation on the Czech Army’s capabilities, while others see a new tender as the best option.
