Dear Mr. Janeček,
I didn't know your name a few months ago, but now it seems that you want us all to know you. You have been addressing us through the media. So I suppose you will be happy if a citizen addresses you back through the media too. I see that you belong to the young generation. You are only 36 years old, so I congratulate you on your rapid rise to this position, where you have influence over every business in the Czech Republic.

The ethics of working for Andrej Babiš
"I don't know how they sleep at night", my friend said, "What are they thinking of?"
We were having lunch and as usual talking about politics. He is a well known person in the marketing communications industry; as are the the two guys he was referring to, who are both working as consultants to Babiš. I readily agreed with him.

In just four weeks' time, the invoice-matching tax system takes effect. Until Erik Best discussed this in his recent Final Word, I was not aware that it was starting so soon.
Were you aware of it? And if you are running a small or medium sized business, have you considered how much this is going to cost you?

This prompted a lot of hand-wringing, and was one of the reasons cited by Martin Štěpánek as a reason for Lion Group (Publicis) to withdraw from AKA. He has only been in the job a year and the Agency of the Year has been a problem virtually since its inception in the mid 90's.
