Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš sparked a minor scandal after posting a video of himself picking wildflowers on a protected mountain, Lysá hora. Claiming he was honoring a friend and offering to pay any fine, he was hiking with ministers and supporters when footage showed him placing a small bouquet at a summit monument. Environmental experts weighed in, noting the flowers—narrow-leaved willowherb and Fuchs’ ragwort—are common and not endangered, suggesting no real legal trouble is likely. While Babiš apologized, the real drama may lie more in optics than actual environmental harm.
