Too Much Pity

A public debate on whether Czech society coddles its weakest members is bound to produce sparks. And that's how Respekt likes it. The republic's leading alterna-weekly, Respekt likes to force the issues and has been reviving the pre-war tradition of Q&A forums on important social topics. This week's considers whether the Czech state 'liquidates its own wealth through its social assistance'. Speakers include the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, a senator, a sociologist and correspondents from Czech Radio and Respekt. In Czech with some interpretation.
