"The main role of history is to prevent virtuous deeds from being forgotten,
and that bad words and deeds fear a shameful reputation with posterity."

How do you actually see contemporary Czechia, its political leaders and the society here?
The current Czech Republic is represented by the current president, who was elected by people whose roots still go back to the communist dictatorship. These people have limited their choice to a choice between an intelligence agent and a StB agent. Neither Pavel nor Babiš had a problem with the fact that this communist regime murdered and abused its own people. I consider Pavel's position in the past to be more serious than Babiš's. The Czech Republic, a former member of the Soviet bloc, still has continuity of laws with the cannibalistic communist regime. The Czech Republic has established a continuity of laws that guarantee impunity for communist murderers and for those who have stolen the property of their fellow citizens to keep that stolen property. The first president was elected by the communists themselves, the second president was from a communist family and the communist party allowed him to study abroad. The last two presidents were also in the Communist Party.
The Czech Republic is still waiting for a charismatic leader to emerge and lead the country out of the mess it is in 35 years after the so-called Velvet Revolution.
You were not even in the Czech Republic for the premiere. Have you already completely rejected a visit to your homeland, or are you waiting until we have a non-communist president?
