More than six thousand people have signed an online petition demanding the reconstruction and preservation of the railway bridge connecting Prague's Výtoň and Smíchov districts, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries
At the end of last year, the Railway Administration presented a project according to which only the lower part of the bridge with pillars should be preserved and the current structure replaced by a new one.
According to Richard Biegel, a member of the petition committee and chairman of the Club for Old Prague, the current form of the bridge is historically and technically valuable.

Former PM and presidential candidate Andrej Babiš met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Tuesday to discuss the war in Ukraine and a solution to the energy crisis in Europe. The meeting, which lasted 40 minutes, took place just three days before the first round of the Czech presidential elections.
Both Mr Babiš's ANO party and Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party are part of the Renew Europe faction in the European Parliament. The French president’s spokeswoman told the Czech News Agency on Monday that the visit should not be interpreted as President Macron’s support for Mr Babiš in the elections.

Some 33,760 photovoltaic power plants with a total capacity of 288.8 megawatts (MW) were put into operation in Czechia last year, which represents a year-on-year increase by 366 percent. The average size of power plants is also gradually increasing, the Solar Association announced at a press conference on Tuesday.
However, experts say the growing number of installations is running into limits in the form of insufficient capacity of technicians and the quality of their work.
The boom in solar power was driven by domestic installations of power plants with a capacity of up to 10 kilowattpeak (kWp). The largest number of power plants, over 6,000, was installed in the Central Bohemian region.

The cabinet is likely to appoint a special government commissioner for Ukraine’s reconstruction on Wednesday, the Czech News Agency has reported.
According to earlier reports, the newly created post should be filled by Tomáš Kopečný, who quit at the end of the year as Deputy Defence Minister for Industrial Cooperation at the Ministry of Defence and who has been one of the chief movers in organising military assistance to Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský, who will present the material to the cabinet, has repeatedly refused to disclose who will fill the position. He said the post would require a good coordinator who would be able to both help Ukraine and maximise opportunities for Czech companies.
