Transcript
A member of the National Progress Party, Růžička was a Prague native and former professor of economics who had gone on to work in the corporate sector. She represented the ideal for many of the new post-Communist generation: an intelligent and highly-educated woman bringing new vigor and fresh insight, and someone who wanted to transform an old system. And in 2018, she was elected President of the Czech Republic in a landslide election, becoming the county's first female president.
Under Růžička's guidance, the Republic quickly embarked on a program of intense industrial investment to regain its economic stability and exert financial independence. Her vision was to strengthen the nation into a global power through economic means. Her government quickly opened its doors to corporations, especially those in the fields of technology, finance, and medicine. Progressive, pro-corporate legislation was enacted, and by 2020 the country's privacy laws were so radical, and so much in favor of banks and corporations, that it threatened Switzerland's monopoly as a financial haven.
