"I am honored to participate in the reminder of the action during which the Allies fought for the Freedom of Europe back then. Just as the Ukrainians are doing now. There was unity then and there must be unity now."

Events ČT reported the second news of the day from 11:10 min (no content and indents below the video). Nothing on the CTK and Seznam.cz websites, or maybe it was briefly, but it disappeared immediately from the main page. The priority was the train collision in Pardubice...

On ČT 1 from 20:00. Superdebate and on ČT 2 Lucie Výborná... (although ČT 2 and ČT 24 reported during the day). On ČRoPlus from 20:05 pm about Heydrichand from 21:10 pm about Stalingrad and how toddlers crawled over the bodies of dead mothers... This was also happen at the Swedish Chance at Přerov in peacetime. The media is also silent about the biggest massacre in Postoloprty on our territory. Our own crimes against humanity are permanently silent, as are the politicians who contribute to this by attending commemorations in large numbers at the sites of Nazi crimes, but who consistently avoid the sites of Czech crimes against humanity, lest they jeopardise their political careers. Let us remember the still valid warning and challenge of the gymnast Věra Čáslavská, if we do not want to repeat history again. ELECTION CLIP from Finland still up to date!

Good choice for the EP, citizens. There are always limited options in today's impossibly unlimited world. JŠ

Corruption at the highest level of the EU: secret meeting in Suite 412

Prof. Pavko: "Those who want to go forward must also look backwards,

to find the way."

He complied with the "social order" and did not appreciate the actions and members of the Resistance Group of the Mašín brothers. He does not have the moral strength of TGM, to stand up, if necessary, against everyone. He also succumbed in not appreciating Emil Kolben, where the "social order" undoubtedly was. Emil Kolben was born on November 1, just like President Pavel and singer Marta Kubišová (she supported the proposal to honour our great businessman and human being with her signature). It could have been a great "moral triad" connecting generations and centuries. President Pavel did not use it and confirmed that he is not worthy of both personalities. Another great shame and disgrace of the Czech Republic by the country's highest representative in front of the whole world... Let's hope that the film "BROTHERS" will receive the prestigious OSCAR award!

To quote from Wikipedia, the significant events in Kolben's life were the celebrations of his 70th and 75th birthdays. On the latter occasion, among other things, he said:

"Armed with extensive knowledge and experience in all branches of power electrical engineering, and keeping abreast of the then most modern advances in the manufacture of electrical machinery and equipment, I thought in August 1896 of putting my wealth of knowledge and experience at the service of my Czech homeland. There were only a few small electrical factories in Austria at that time, and then only in the early stages of development. It seemed best to me to set up a modern electrical factory myself in the centre of a large industrial area, in the traditional seat of highly developed engineering: in Prague. This is how the factory was founded, which became the basis of today's largest Czechoslovak electrical engineering enterprise."

On 6 June 1943, at the age of 80, Emil Kolben, his son Hanuš and grandson Jindřich were deported to the Terezín concentration camp. The Protectorate government requested an exception for him, but it was not granted. He died on 3 July 1943 at the age of 80 in Podmokelské barracks. According to the testimony of his grandson, Jindřich, he had with him, apart from a few personal belongings, a briefcase with 180 shares of ČKD stock.

In his speech, the president also talked about the importance of the business sector, but he honoured only one entrepreneur...
