TOP 09 compiles list of freedom restrictions imposed by government

The opposition TOP 09 has accused the government of gradually limiting people’s rights and freedoms in favour of the state. The centre-right party has compiled a list of 16 government measures that have either been passed as laws or are in the process of being debated which it says restrict people’s freedom and increase their dependence on the state. The list includes the introduction of electronic cash registers, the requirement that some entities must submit VAT control statements or the recently approved law which would force supermarkets and shopping malls to close on three public holidays.
