Economist and former rector of the University of Economics in Prague, Richard Hindls evaluates the proposal from PAQ Research positively. "The proposal is good and could be one of the first visible reform 'swallows' to alleviate problems with public finances. These problems will undoubtedly trigger the necessity for further fundamental reform steps in the near future, and this could be one of them," he stated for Novinky. "The atomized structure of municipalities – with over 6200 municipalities and nearly 11 million inhabitants in the Czech Republic, it is indeed too much – requires strengthening the regime of shared roles and processes, which the proposal defines correctly," Hindls noted. #daně #reforma #obce (translated)
