The P Diary - Paukner Media reported that Zdeněk Hřib introduced a designation for companies he claims are dependent on subsidies. The author subsequently compiled an overview of their largest recipients and argued that the greatest dependence was not exhibited by Andrej Babiš, but by the sponsor of the STAN movement, Jan Dobrovský, along with his partners. According to him, their energy holding REN Power CZ a.s. received up to 70% of its revenue from public support and Dobrovský and his partners withdrew 3.4 billion crowns from the company over the past two years, which the author claimed was taxed in Liechtenstein. In the headline of the post, it was stated that the holding received 80 times more state support than Babiš. Regarding Veolia Energie, the author wrote that over the last four years it received 5.5 times more subsidies than the entire Agrofert holding, and that government support accounted for 20.5% of its annual turnover. According to him, Veolia employed 2,200 people, while Agrofert companies employed more than 17,700. The author stated that the article was available on HeroHero and was scheduled to be published on social media and in the P Diary the following day at 5:00 PM. He also announced that he was calculating the subsidies received by the partially state-owned ČEZ over the past four years. If he classified Dobrovský and his partners, as well as Veolia, as subsidy recipients, ČEZ would represent a "Colombian subsidy cartel", according to him. The author also doubted that Hřib would designate Dobrovský as a subsidy recipient and estimated that subsequent media criticism would last no more than a day or two. #dotace #hospodářství #politika (translated)
