Today's text is a short excerpt from an interview with British historian Timothy Garton Ash, published two weeks ago in the German magazine Der Spiegel.
SPIEGEL: You've met many politicians in person. Who made the biggest impression on you?
Garton Ash: Václav Havel.
SPIEGEL: But you also write in your book that he would have done better if people remembered him as a man who gave speeches and never became president.

Even the quality of this car shows where we could be today if we were not occupied by the backward East. Car designer Hans Ledwinka was a Sudeten German. Read his turbulent life story. Films should be made about such extraordinary people as examples for the young, just like Tomáš Baťa and others. Edvard Beneš is also responsible for their fate. He did nothing worthwhile, but he destroyed the lives of those who did and achieved something in life. JŠ

"The Lady from Damascus" is about to end. Doyenne of Czech diplomacy in Syria helped save many allies.
More than once, her life was on the line, yet she is still working in the Czech Republic's uniform in one of the most complex destinations on the planet. According to the findings of Lidovky.cz, the ambassador to Syria, Eva Filipi, is now expected to leave her post in Damascus.
Her diplomatic skills have been praised by the Americans. They reduced their presence in Damascus after the attack on Ambassador Robert Ford in 2011. Subsequently, the Czechs began to play the role of a liaison officer or protector of American interests (the so-called protecting power). This concerns primarily consular issues that affect the fate of specific American citizens. The reason why the US chose the Czech Republic was described six years ago by former Ambassador Ford himself to Foreign Policy magazine. "Eva (Filipi) had a better insight into the mindset of the Syrian government," he recalled.
Diplomacy did not want to comment on the exchange. "The process of appointing ambassadors is conducted in a classified mode and we cannot comment on the details," said Daniel Drake, a State Department spokesman. He added that the Czech embassy in Damascus would continue to act as a "protecting power".

He announced five years ago this month that he would step up his attacks on its finances and activities and see where it took him. On Jan. 8 of this year he explained in detail how contracts with outside production companies at ČT are used to steal money. Many in the media who still make fun of Soukup have a past or current connection to the money pipeline. Candidates for CEO of ČT - and esp. incumbent Petr Dvořák - should explain what they plan to do to stop the theft, but the "independent and democratic" media won't even bother to ask. Full Article>
P.S. Corruption is present in the country at all levels of government. It would be abnormal and unnatural for there to be none in the publicly owned Czech Television. There is a very lucrative "breeding ground" for it to influence the thinking and behaviour of the population by those for whom the interests of the country and its population are not paramount, even though they constantly talk about it. That is why politicians are so protective of it. I haven't met a citizen who is enthusiastic about CT? I wonder who pays for the surveys that show that citizens are enthusiastic about CT's programming? "The programme is the old programme", comes the frequent answer, or in new packaging. JŠ
