Právo (in Czech Right or Law) is a Czech daily newspaper published in Prague, Czech Republic. History and profile Právo emerged in 1991 following the Velvet Revolution, when some editors of the daily Rudé právo founded a new company unaffiliated with the Czechoslovak Communist Party but taking advantage of the existing reader base. The paper is not directly linked to any political party, but is ideologically close to the Czech Social Democratic Party. It maintains a left-wing stance and tends to focus on social issues. In 2019 Právo allowed the Chinese embassy to produce an eight-page paid supplement to the paper labelled as a “theme and commercial supplement.” The articles featured exclusively positive coverage of China and were signed by the paper’s reporters. Právo is published in Prague by Borgis, a stock company that issues only Právo and its supplements, owned for 91% by the paper's editor-in-chief, Zdeněk Porybný. The paper is published in broadsheet format. Circulation The circulation of Právo was 205,000 copies in 2002, making it the third best selling newspaper in the country.
