No, CZ is the same. Broadly speaking, we are still pretty rich western country with some stepbacks. But "If Germany jumps of the bridge, Czechia jumps too." We have such a complex against bigger nations, yet we're quite ahead in interest in modern tech for example.
Lockdowns during covid were borderline hilarious, for a bit you weren't allowed to leave your town without a permit. It all showed our government is absolutely useless band of really uneducated clowns.
Homeschooling or alternative education demands jumping through a ton of hoops just to please the bureau, bureaucracy altogether grew crazy in last years.

It's not bad if you keep in the line, study school, get a job, give birth via section in hospital, send kids to kiga and school and work for those free 5 weeks a year...I'm not good at any of this so far. Any attempt to do anything in the system ended up bad for me, I hated any school I studied, my business faced crushing investigations, we lost a LOT of money on state support due to having babies in Germany where I didn't pay taxes years before..I'm done. I'm so done drowning in bureaucracy and system acquirements.
