Egg prices continue to rise, according to data from the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ). A pack of ten eggs now costs an average of 73.43 koruna, an increase of 6.24 koruna (or 9.29 percent) compared to October. Compared with last November, the price has risen by 8.62 koruna (13.3 percent). With the Christmas season approaching, egg prices may continue to climb, said Gabriela Dlouhá, chairwoman of the Czech-Moravian Poultry Union, in a statement to ČTK. She also noted that prices are currently being influenced by the spread of avian flu in Europe and the restructuring of poultry farms, as cage-based farming will be banned in Czechia starting in 2027.

A commemorative plaque honoring the military resistance was unveiled on Wednesday at the former police prison in the Small Fortress of Terezín. The ceremony was the final event organized by the Terezín Memorial to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War. The director of the organization, Jan Roubínek, emphasized the courage of the men who chose to resist at a time when it seemed all was lost, resisting a regime that was monstrous not only in its brutality but also in its ideology, which sought to crush freedom, humanity, and the right to life.

Leaders of Czech coalition parties ANO, SPD, and the Motorists’ Party have signed a proposal to freeze politicians’ salaries at 2025 levels for the next five years, starting 1 January 2026, the Czech News Agency reports. The bill will be submitted to the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, SPD leader and Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Tomio Okamura told journalists.
“We want the bill to be considered immediately, and for the Senate to meet without delay,” Okamura said. He also acknowledged that fast-tracking the proposal in the Chamber of Deputies could be blocked by the new opposition. The Senate, where outgoing government parties hold a majority, could present another obstacle.

The Budget Committee of the Czech lower house met for the first time in its new post-election composition to discuss the 2026 state budget submitted by the outgoing coalition government of Petr Fiala (Civic Democrats). After roughly four hours of debate, the committee suspended proceedings and will resume on Monday, November 24, the Czech News Agency reported.
The suspension was proposed by Alena Schillerová (ANO), likely next finance minister, who argued that the draft budget fails to cover mandatory, legally required and key investment expenditures totalling CZK 95.9 billion (EUR 3.8 billion). Outgoing Finance Minister Zbyněk Stanjura (ODS) defended the proposal as “realistic” and focused on investment.
Committee chairman Vladimír Pikora (Motorists' Party) did not rule out the possibility that the incoming ANO, SPD and Motorists' Party coalition could draft its own budget.

Prague’s Deputy Mayor for Transport, Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates), outlined a package of measures aimed at improving traffic flow in the capital at a press conference on Wednesday. The city has recently come under heavy criticism for severe congestion and long traffic jams on key routes.
According to Hřib, four main steps could help the traffic situation: faster construction of roads, establishing clearer responsibility for road closures, prioritising the completion of the Prague Ring Road, and a better balance between car numbers and road capacity, potentially through low-emission zones.
Hřib will present the proposals to the City Assembly for approval on Thursday.
