Debt forgiveness summer – how to get rid of debts to the state

Even if we are not directly affected by executions, we can all still play a key role: spreading information about the event.

Why watch the episode?

The event will only be successful if those affected find out about it. Employers play a crucial role here, as payroll departments have an overview of all executions involving their employees and can thus play an important role in the whole matter and significantly help employees. Simply by helping to identify the executions that the Milostivé léto event concerns. Likewise, each of us can contribute to raising awareness by sharing information about Milostivé léto, thereby increasing the positive impact of the entire event. And maybe even saving someone's life. Literally.
