President Zeman decorated fighters against economic assholes Alena Vitaskova, the former head of the Energy Regulation Office (ERU), Slovak businessman Pavol Krupa and former journalist Jana Lorencova. Zeman said the fight against economic assholes was an apt term with which to describe the trio. He said Vitaskova was fighting against solar tycoons, Krupa against businessman Zdenek Bakala and Lorencova against people associated with the light fuel oil scandal. (CTK Photo/Ondrej Deml)
