Czech Lawmakers Manus Out The Prime Number Government Minister To Police

111 out of 180 lawmakers inwards the room concord alongside the prosecution

The Czech Parliament has repeated the four-months-old performance when it was deciding whether the Slovak-born billionaire prime number government minister Babiš (ANO) together with his principal aide together with boss of ANO's lawmakers Mr Faltýnek would hold out stripped of their immunity. Both men remove maintain regained the immunity when their motility won the Oct elections alongside 30% of the votes together with the prosecution of these 2 men had to halt together with a novel permission from the Parliament was needed.

Faltýnek defended himself calmly although he has used several expletives – piece rationally mentioning that he precisely has to job them. The investigation is a "pile of liquid šit". On the other hand, Babiš himself was rather hysterical. He was repeating his tirades close thirty times. The Mafia is trying to destroy him, he's innocent, yous tin see the Stork Nest together with run across children who see the house which proves that he hasn't stolen anything, blah blah blah.




Every Czech citizen alongside the IQ higher upwardly ninety understands that it's totally self-evident that Babiš stole the $2.5 i 1000 m (according to the electrical flow rate) subsidy for small-scale together with medium companies that he patently wasn't eligible to collect every bit Czechia's minute wealthiest citizen. Someone had to apply for the subsidy together with pretend he was a small-scale plenty company. No i has proposed whatever option explanation to the explanation that the actual possessor was Babiš (and fifty-fifty if it were the menage unit of measurement members, they would even then hold out likewise tightly connected to the rich human being together with at that spot would even then hold out a problem).

So the applicant was deceiving the officials who were handing out the subsidies. That's how subsidy fraud is defined. One needs to figure out which individual was this deceitful political party together with it's clear that it's Babiš himself – piece I intend it's much to a greater extent than subtle to figure out whether his collaborators (such every bit Faltýnek) together with menage unit of measurement members should hold out considered swain perpetrators, they were precisely abused, or they were basically victims. There are lots of uncertain details that the investigation has to clarify but Babiš's guilt doesn't seem to hold out i of them.




One contestation past times Babiš during his today's defense strength was rather incredible. It wasn't the commencement fourth dimension when he talked close the "Mafia" that controls everything together with that is going later on his neck. His sheep remove heed such things every day. Palermo is amidst his favorite words, too. But he added something real specific today. He said that "we alive inwards a province where it's possible to lodge the prosecution of an inconvenient citizen [such every bit himself]".

Now, is it true? Is it false? I am for sure that some people are trying to practise such creepy things but I also believe that they by together with large confront obstacles together with the organisation self-corrects most of the time. But I don't desire to pretend that I am for sure that our judicial organisation is flawless together with perfect – I cannot hold out certain.

But what is remarkable is that this self-described victim has been the finance government minister – together with the widely understood "de facto prime number minister" – for iv years (not to holler that he treated of import folks inwards mainstream parties every bit his puppies inwards the previous xx years, together with he was a component division of the communist elite that had controlled our province during the 41 years earlier that). And during that time, the electrical flow government minister of justice, Dr Pelikán, was the jurist minister, too. And Dr Pelikán is a fellow member of Babiš's political party together with a staunch worshiper of His Idiotic Excellency Mr Babiš himself.

So precisely imagine that. Even later on iv years, the organisation together with attorneys full general led past times Dr Pelikán together with Mr Babiš resemble Palermo (if yous believe the prime number minister's accusations) together with i may pay for the prosecution of someone else. But Mr Babiš doesn't notice it foreign to proceed Dr Pelikán every bit the government minister of justice, anyway. And when the government minister of jurist – who was sitting meters from Babiš during his defense strength – hears someone maxim that the judicial organisation he leads is a Mafia-controlled Hell, he doesn't say a unmarried word. It's spectacular, shocking, absurd. Numerous people from the opposition – everyone except for Babiš's ANO – made this betoken together with I concord alongside that betoken completely.

On the other hand, the struggle has also featured numerous lawmakers from Babiš's ain party. They voted against the proposal to strip their bosses of their immunity (except for the 2 men themselves who criticized the stripping but also wanted to "look similar brave men" then they voted to hold out handed out). Some of them were terrifying. The best trial is Ms Taťána Malá. She spoke similar a fanatical apparatchik inwards the Socialist Youth Union who precisely needs to limited her unlimited loyalty to the communist political party to proceed her position. She lacks whatever might to intend impartially, rationally, critically. Her fanaticism towards Babiš looks scary. The Internet is giving her difficult fourth dimension together with I intend she deserves all of that wholeheartedly.

Also, all ANO's lawmakers remove maintain made a perfect U-turn. In the past, they were screaming that the lawmakers' immunity should remove maintain been either totally abolished or exclusively applied to crimes related to speeches inwards the Parliament. They justified that innovation past times maxim that the immunity is constantly beingness abused past times existent criminals together with everyone is stealing, peculiarly amidst the politicians. In fact, they ever stated that politicians should relish "presumption of guilt". And a rule inwards the charter of the ANO motility said – precisely a twelvemonth agone – that whenever a pol inwards ANO is charged past times the police, he has to resign from all functions.

Quite suddenly, later on the 2 acme men of the motility were charged past times the police, this dominion is no longer written inwards the amended charter of ANO. And ANO's lawmakers enjoin us that they remove maintain changed their mind. On the contrary, the immunity is needed together with politicians mustn't hold out handed out to the police pull because the police pull together with prosecutors are the actual criminals piece the politicians are innocent, together with then on. Some of them described that U-turn every bit a quasi-religious "confession".

And these staggeringly hypocritical clowns would instruct at to the lowest degree those 30% inwards the adjacent elections again. Imagining the magnitude of the stupidity of these voters precisely terrifies me. One-third of the nation, one-third of our families, workplaces, rings of friends, whatever are dumber than a doorknob. Babiš may hold out relocated to a prison theater but his 1.5 i 1000 m stupid voters won't evaporate.

Now, the Parliament approved a no-confidence vote inwards the regime some 2 days ago. The regime had to post a resignation letter. President Zeman "doesn't remove maintain plenty time" for unimportant events such every bit the resignation of the Czech regime ;-), nosotros were told past times the Prague Castle, then he volition exclusively convey the resignation adjacent Wednesday, later on a one-week-long delay.

For this reason, Babiš became the "premier inwards trouble" (who tin hold out treated precisely similar whatever other criminal past times the police) earlier he turned into a "premier inwards the province of resignation".

Next weekend, nosotros remove maintain the minute circular of the presidential elections. Mr Miloš Zeman, the electrical flow president, volition hold out challenged past times pharmacist together with onetime boss of the Czech Academy of Sciences Mr Jiří Drahoš. If I volition vote at all, I volition vote for Zeman – despite his perceived alliance alongside Babiš which seems less of import instantly given Babiš's police pull status.

I remove maintain lots of problem alongside Mr Drahoš (who previously promised non to holler Babiš every bit the prime number government minister i time again if Babiš is investigated past times the police). He looks similar a typical mediocre opportunist inwards the scholarly world. His enquiry credentials are rather poor – a typical picture of an average Czech scholar and/or a typical scholar who focuses on doing bureaucracy together with politics. And most of his sentences are "I don't know" or "I am non sure". He doesn't remove maintain clear opinions close anything together with the surround unopen to him tries to spin it every bit an advantage. He's unquestionably a grayness invisible human being who got this high because nobody saw him every bit a problem.

Those aren't advantages from my perspective peculiarly if at that spot be reasonable worries that he – every bit a rather clear fellow member or Equus caballus of the politically right "Prague Café" surround – could move an obedient puppy of Angela Merkel. Most of the other anti-Zeman candidates remove maintain endorsed Drahoš but I am an trial (not quite a unique example, I think) of a voter of Topolánek's who prefers Zeman. My estimate is that at the end, Zeman volition compaction Drahoš fifty-fifty if Zeman "runs" inwards a coffin. Some negative pro-Zeman billboards remove maintain suggested that Drahoš could hold out pro-mass-migration. I am non terribly happy close negative campaigns but I practise intend that this is a fair together with of import betoken to hold out made right instantly together with most of the voters volition concord that the betoken is of import together with negative for Drahoš.
