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.
