The Slovak PM Fico told Babiš "Welcome home". Too bad, Fico hasn't constitute a stable mansion inwards Slovakia for Babiš yet then Czech Republic won't repay the loan (of Babiš) inwards a foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, inwards his second, Czech homeland, he's beingness discussed specially inwards connecter with the European Union's study on his Stork Nest subsidy fraud.
Recall that he has built the fundamental Bohemian personal mansion in addition to conference midpoint (where a drinking glass of mineral H2O costs $70 during events), the Stork Nest, out of ruins of a farm for $20 meg or so. To brand the numbers add together up, he fraudulently acquired a $2 meg subsidy from the EU, pretending to endure a "small or medium concern working inwards the go industry". For a few years, he formally gave the stocks of the Stork Nest to an "anonymous owner" (who pretended to endure the director of a modest concern inwards the go industry) in addition to afterward a few years when the weather condition were monitored, he transferred the stocks from the anonymous Babiš to the onymous Babiš again.
The Czech constabulary has completed its investigation in addition to concluded it's absolutely obvious that he has committed the subsidy fraud. The determination couldn't receive got been discussed inwards courts yet. Before the Oct 2017 elections, the Parliament agreed to strip Babiš of his immunity. Sadly, thank you lot to his party's gain of 30% of votes, he regained the immunity afterward the elections then the immunity vote volition receive got to endure repeated inwards a few weeks in addition to you lot tin never endure certain how many lawmakers volition endure bought or blackmailed during the novel vote.
There doesn't be whatsoever plausible option theory – in addition to there's fifty-fifty no proposed option implausible theory – what could receive got happened that would imply that it wasn't a subsidy fraud. Babiš's brain-dead voters (about 1.5 meg Czechs) largely pretend non to sympathise in addition to if some of them practise understand, they don't aid in addition to they say that everyone is a thief then why Babiš shouldn't just accept $2 meg that were lying on the street? He has successfully fooled the bureaucrats to give a postage on his subsidy application then everything is fine, isn't it?
Well, the respond is: It isn't fine because the simulated data most the actual possessor on the application is a subsidy fraud that is punished, according to the laws, yesteryear 10 years inwards prison theatre which is precisely what should await Mr Babiš if the dominion of law yet holds inwards Czechia.
Meanwhile, inwards early on 2016, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF, an acronym loosely derived from the French name), began its investigation of that detail $2 meg subsidy. The investigation was completed a calendar week ago. The study is beingness treated every bit a state secret, every bit classified information. No ane is plainly allowed to acquire that our prime number government minister is a poor thief in addition to liar.
Lots of professional person investigators in addition to experts operate for OLAF – just every bit if OLAF were some European constabulary – but ironically enough, that bureau has no existent direct power. Instead, it produces "recommendations" for the managers of the European Union subsidies every bit good every bit investigators inwards the field states. OK, what did they conclude inwards their reports – which has some hundreds of pages – most the Stork Nest?
The real fact that the study wasn't forthwith published yesteryear the Czech regime – at nowadays to a greater extent than or less straight supervised yesteryear Babiš – made it rather clear that the study wasn't goodness intelligence for Babiš. But what's precisely written inside? Is it just an English linguistic communication version of the study yesteryear the Czech police? Because – inwards spite of the secrecy – nosotros were told most the listing of recipients in addition to some "recommendations", it was clear that the results were unlikely to receive got been "things were OK". But almost no Czech pol or investigator has been able to come across the actual report. For example, the Czech members of the European Parliament (who aren't controlled yesteryear Babiš [yet?]) receive got asked OLAF for a re-create – because it's of import for their operate – but OLAF responded that they (MEPs inwards general) were just irrelevant pieces of šit, non fifty-fifty existent lawmakers, then they couldn't come across anything (just similar they can't suggest whatsoever laws because republic inwards the European Union is an absolute joke).
But finally, members of the immunity commission of the Czech Parliament were able to come across the study (but they couldn't brand a re-create or convey it home). And the leaders of the master copy (now) opposition parties inwards the Parliament receive got agreed that the OLAF study is an English linguistic communication version of the Czech constabulary report. It says that a subsidy fraud has been committed, the Stork Nest should endure removed from the subsidized world funding, in addition to the instance should endure investigated yesteryear the Czech authorities.
On peak of that, OLAF has carefully analyzed an option theory – that Babiš has applied for the subsidy inwards "good will" – in addition to it has plainly disproved the option theory. So, ladies in addition to gentlemen inwards Czechia, your novel prime number government minister is a thief that should, according to ii Czech laws that are specifically mentioned inwards the OLAF report, pass 10 years inwards the prison. Well, a decisive fraction of the Czech people doesn't give a damn. For 1.5 meg of them, this thief is a dear one, a novel Juraj Jánošík (a famous Slovak outlaw who was "stealing from the rich" in addition to "giving to the poor" – well, Babiš is stealing both from the rich in addition to poor in addition to giving everything to himself but his brain-dead voters just don't aid most this tiny difference). Babiš is their truthful hero because his appearance in addition to spoken communication go inwards clear that he is a moron (and was a spineless opportunist collaborator with the communist regime), just similar his voters, then they beginning for the human who is ane of them.
Babiš's novel regime (which doesn't taste the confidence of the Parliament in addition to won't acquire ane anytime soon) has obfuscated the real existence of the study for some time. But he has added numerous juicy comments on peak of that – comments that brand you lot wonder what he in addition to his supporters smoke.
Six ways to dismiss a study that facial expression similar punchlines from a comedy
First, he said that the study certainly contains zippo that would endure related to him because the OLAF investigators haven't stopped at the Stork Nest for a drinkable yet! This judgement was pronounced seriously. How could they receive got investigated him if they haven't drunkard a few spectacles with him at all? Second, Babiš has filed a complaint with some European courtroom against OLAF for that study (although he hasn't read it in addition to although he's certain that the study has zippo to practise with him). Just imagine the chutzpah: When a cop catches a thief red-handed, the thief should scream that he is non himself in addition to he should but sue the cop! ;-)
Third, he told us that "OLAF is no God" in addition to "just because OLAF writes something doesn't hateful it's true". References to God remind us of the old joke: Do you lot know what is the divergence betwixt God in addition to Babiš? God doesn't recollect that He's Babiš. Fourth, the Lidovky daily owned yesteryear Babiš (now: indirectly through a trust) has published straight lies most the content of the report, claiming that it doesn't say anything most fraud (those lawmakers that receive got seen the study concord that the study does explicitly verbalize most fraud in addition to the identification of the Czech paragraphs – 212 in addition to 260 – that Babiš has violated).
Fifth, the other major newspapers owned yesteryear Babiš's trust, MF DNES, defended the excogitation to maintain the OLAF study inwards undercover because "if the study were published, the then far unknown perpetrator could endure able to read it". Imagine that! Whoever wrote it must receive got had the destination of making fun of everyone. This is dark sense of humour beyond whatsoever imagination. The actual possessor of the Stork Nest is Babiš in addition to it has ever been the case. But fifty-fifty if the perpetrator were anyone else, he yet knows what he did – when he reads that others receive got constitute out every bit well, it changes zippo whatsoever most his knowledge. He knows everything most the events – he has created those events.
Sixth, Babiš added some other comment that sounds every bit a joke: "Just because OLAF wants the projection to endure 'removed' from the listing of subsidized projects doesn't hateful that whatsoever money volition endure returned." Oh, really? Wow. He doesn't fifty-fifty desire to furnish the stolen $2 million. It's similar the joke most the human who loved a $2 meg villa but didn't similar the price. So he made a compromise: he would accept the villa but wouldn't pay the money.
Conclusions
The province of affairs is crystal clear. Everyone who has some encephalon in addition to specially everyone who has looked at the instance agrees that it was a textbook illustration of a subsidy fraud. The European Union investigators agree, too. The perpetrator should endure jailed for 10 years. Almost everyone inwards the Czech Parliament agrees that there's no argue why the lawmakers' immunity should protect politicians against such serious yet purely economical criminal charges. For some reason, this plainly hopeless province of affairs poses no employment for Babiš at all in addition to he – the novel most powerful human inwards Czech Republic – continues to deed every bit if he were a dear warrior against the economical crime.
I am commonly shocked yesteryear the arrogance of the European Union – how much it ignores the sovereignty of the European Union members states in addition to similar things. But inwards this case, I am totally shocked yesteryear the impotence of the EU. After all, it was their money that was stolen. They don't fifty-fifty go inwards every bit good clear that they desire the money to endure returned. Well, it's actually because they don't aid – afterward all, it's the money of the European Union fellow member countries' citizens, in addition to the European Union doesn't give a damn most these citizens.
At whatsoever rate, the European Union has defined some rules most who was eligible for the subsidy in addition to the rules were blatantly violated. So I would facial expression e.g. High German taxpayers who receive got paid a large fraction of the money to need the furnish of the funds in addition to some cleaning inwards the lands of the Tschechische in addition to Slowakische Simulantenbanden then that things similar that won't hap again. But the High German taxpayers don't care, either. (The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote a detached storey most the political-criminal thriller inwards Prague.) They don't aid most theft. They already alive inwards a brave novel footing where the Islamization of the continent is vogue to a greater extent than of import (and desirable for them!) than the dominion of law in addition to than their "own" money.
Maybe the European Union finds it helpful for the Czech prime number government minister to endure a demonstrable criminal – because they may blackmail him in addition to role this extra tool to kernel thousands of illegal immigrants into Czechia, alongside other things. Maybe they actually love Babiš because his naive, straightforward vogue of stealing reminds them of the Muslim immigrants in addition to they're the best citizens of the hereafter European Union that they tin recollect of! Meanwhile, Europeans who receive got some values from the old schoolhouse are left vomiting.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 curiosity: the Czech calendar contains the namedays I was late explaining. When Babiš was getting married with his partner Monika (at the Stork Nest) this summer, it was Olaf's nameday. It couldn't receive got been a coincidence. Maybe it agency that Olaf was invited to the Stork Nest, during the marriage ceremony, afterward all.
