Pavel appeared in another advertisement. We did not give any consent, said the Castle.

Czech President Petr Pavel's image was used in advertisements by Canis without his consent. The company featured him in promotional materials for workwear, stating he knows what to wear. Pavel's spokesperson clarified that the president was unaware of this use and did not approve it. The company later confirmed the removal of the images from their stores, explaining the posters were intended to motivate employees and were not part of a national campaign. This incident is not the first time Pavel's likeness has been used without permission, as a similar situation occurred with a Polish store last year.
