Update 3.10.2023:Discussion. We need an ambassador in Russia - My comment. His wife was promoted for drunk driving. Diplomat Dr. Jana Chaloupková (20 years in diplomacy, 12 languages) was fired for her honest work in the style of the 1950s. Hybášková covers up corruption and crimes with inaction and silence. Her husband can't not know it, but he's fine with preaching good manners - hypocrites or psychopaths?" (Seznam.cz 3.10.2023) - ČRoPlus (1.10.2023 17:15) Senator Pavel Fischer, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security. He can talk a good game, but that's all. He has refused to deal with this case, saying it is "not a committee matter" but Slovakia is? Another hypocrite looking after his good home. He no longer responds to my repeated information, nor does the chairman of the Security Committee, Pavel Žáček (who does not respond at all). All the media are still silent about this case, the question is how much longer? The governments of Poland, Germany and Italy have been informed. The Czech Republic is more involved in their refugee problems than they know, including the public. The Czech Interior Minister Vít Rakušan said today: 'We are actively trying, together with the EU authorities, to solve the migration problem.' He should address it primarily with the Czech Foreign Ministry...The administration of the state is collapsing, its incompetence is becoming increasingly apparent. Freedom of speech and the public's right to information come at a price - State pressure on media to declassify sources. French journalist ends up in detention.

In response to Ursula von der Leyen's visit to Prague and the current visa scandal in Poland, we are changing the topic of the 5th part of this issue. Prime Minister Petr Fiala has now said during a meeting with European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen in Prague: 'We are ready to participate in the protection of the EU's external border. Our goal must be to prevent people from going to Europe at all, to prevent human smugglers from being active."
