Mr. Prime Minister, what would you say about the STAN scandals?

***

Prime Minister Petr Fiala is not a strong personality, he is just playing one - without emotion, supporting ideas with undignified hand gestures. He is not a charismatic leader who would appeal to the majority. It is symptomatic that in his speech "to the nation" he did not mention the STAN affair at all, nor the Czech EU presidency. Czech "Potemkin democracy" cannot surprise anyone. The West does not expect it.

Political scientist Daniel Kroupa is right: "The Czech Republic should get rid of provincialism". Of course, this is impossible, there are no people. Political analyst Daniel Kroupa warned against Czech provincialism, petty bourgeoisie and plebeianism - as K. H. Borovsky, F. Palacký, TGM or A. Švehla. We are paying for the generational loss of nobility, elites and traditions. It is symbolic that today in Brussels, the Czech Presidency was opened with a relay run by Emil Zátopek, a great athlete but an unpleasant character who collaborated with the communists. The famous Věra Čáslavská, who proved her solid character and suffered under the Communists, was not "suitable" enough. Hope can for Czech Republic only be strengthened by unquestionable personalities who have proved their qualities with their lives. Therefore, it is not surprising that on the day of the assumption of the Presidency (1 July 2022), the public broadcaster, the German ARD, did not mention the Czech Republic at all in its main evening newscast, Tagesschau (even those who do not speak German will appreciate the quality, 15-minute, sophisticated coverage, incomparable to 60 in. ČT events, which only reflect the above-mentioned negative characteristics of the Czech ethnicity).  

I don't like Jana Bobošíková, but what she says about the new Minister of Education Vladimír Balaz should make the whole country smile - another "moscovitch" and a mockery of democratic voters.

I recommend a short interview with Petr Krogman, chairman of the Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce (CRoPlus 24.6.2022) and owner of Agro Mia, on how cowardly, stupidly even suicidal, we are behaving towards Russia instead of taking full advantage of our military and economic strength and clear superiority. The EU pays Russia 10 times more than it pays Ukraine! We pay Russia half a billion a day for oil and gas, Ukraine 15 times less!Ukraine is fighting and dying for us - we are supporting more of it and our enemy! Only countries that have completely lost their instinct for self-preservation can behave like this.

He said nothing new in his speech at the UN. Why did he not mention the Budapest Memorandum of 5.12.1994 (English Version)? He should have used it as a strong, argumentative basis for his speech. Of more value were a few sentences by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

I quote from President Paul's speech: 'The Czech Republic recognises its global responsibility in this regard and will continue to ensure that no one is left behind. I personally pledge to engage with the international community to meet the urgent tasks that must be done." Fine words and promises. Now to be active within my own remit and in my own country. Talking about "global responsibility of the CR", in a country where no one is accountable for anything, where corruption is destroying the country, is very presumptuous...

I quote from my foreign correspondence: The Kremlin leadership has about 10 of them with Ukraine (the one of 5.12.94 is the main one). It would be suitable for the future for the whole humanity. The Kremlin also has a treaty with Kiev on Sevastopol from 2010, or on the Sea of Azov, etc. Then the talk would be not about Kosovo, but about why the RF - broke that agreement and also why the US, GB, France and China (signed later) did not act already in 2014 (after the so-called annexation of Crimea)? Perhaps, they were worried that after 34 years of peace, they (or NATO) would not be able to do something...

"I look like I should be taking pictures of books, art or my little son. But I am documenting Russian war crimes, listening to the sounds of shelling, not verse. Why? Stop Russia." Acclaimed Ukrainian writer Viktoriya Amelina has fallen, her son has lost his mother...

The whole shocking report in Events CT (3.7.2023). This is how Russian murderers behave on the beaches of Turkey - inherited genes from the Mongol conquerors of Russia and "masters of the world". Evil can only be defeated by force if it does not destroy itself in time. Once again a brave Ukrainian woman fought fearlessly for her right - we have much to learn from the Ukrainians!

Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili in court today. This seriously ill man was denied permission to be examined by EU medical experts. Georgia is losing its patriots and dream... JŠ
