Government will seek expert valuation of Lety property
The government agreed on Monday it will seek an expert valuation of the
land housing a controversial pig farm in Lety, south Bohemia, which was the
site of a labour camp and later concentration camp during WWII where Roma
were interned; around 300 people died there due to disease and poor
treatment and some 500 people were sent on to Auschwitz. Past governments
considered buying the property for the farm to be relocated but failed; the
current cabinet has agreed to try deal with the issue. Finding a solution
is one of the priorities of the human rights minister Jiří Dienstbier;
but there has been speculation that Mr Dienstbier could be one of the
ministers dropped in a pending cabinet reshuffle.
