"Lipavský will fulfill the boss's instructions." Wait, isn't that Fiala? Foldyna detonated the bomb | ParlamentniListy.cz – politics from all sides<

On Friday, a new Czech government of five parties was appointed - ODS, KDU-ČSL, TOP 09, STAN, Pirates. How has this coalition of five performed since the election? What did her actions show us?

Poll

Will there be war between Russia and Ukraine?

It will be 20% It won't be 77% I don't know / I don't care 3% voted: 17253 people One of the five-coalition ministers had to resign even before he was appointed. When Tomio Okamura asked Prime Minister Petar Fiala at the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies what he intends to do with the rise in energy prices, when he refuses to reduce VAT and thus their price for consumers, Mr. Fiala pretended that he was not in the room. The new speaker of the House of Representatives, Pekarová Adamová, bought several new suits and matching shoes and had a huge photograph of Václav Havel installed in front of the meeting hall, with which the STAN and TOP 09 MPs took pictures on Tuesday and Wednesday. And when everyone took a picture, the entire coalition of five took a month off.

What did it all show? That Mr. Fiala doesn't really know what to do - with the energy crisis, with covid, with anything else. Empty phrases about decency and talk about how Babiš did everything stupidly will not solve any of the real problems of this country. But to be fair, a few of the ministers in the new government are qualified to run their department well because they understand it.

Which ones are they?

I won't tell you that. Praise from Foldyna is probably the last thing that could help them from their colleagues or their party bosses. And I want this country to be run as well as possible.

It was long debated whether President Miloš Zeman would be willing to appoint the pirate Jan Lipavský as foreign minister, to whom he has reservations and different political positions. Finally, he decided to appoint the entire government. It is speculated that they have some sort of agreement with Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS), or that they are waiting for Lipavský to discredit himself. What do you think?

I think that Petr Fiala would very much like to get rid of Lipavský, and actually the whole coalition would like to get rid of all the Pirates. But no one knows exactly how to do it, when before the election everyone pretended that they would conclude together - if not a mass marriage, then at least a mass registered partnership, including the wedding night. Mr. Fiala probably hoped that Miloš Zeman would do it for him, but Miloš Zeman did not. So apparently there is no agreement.

If Mr. Lipavský discredits himself, I don't know. However, if the editor of the Czech Television, who is otherwise very sympathetic to the Pirates, analyzed him, then Mr. Lipavský has relatively good prerequisites for self-discrediting. As a member of the Aspen Institute, this comrade is ideologically very aware, and as such he will surely be forgiven a lot.

Do you think that a potential replacement has already been prepared?

I don't think so.

Theoretically, if Lipavský does not fulfill expectations in the minister's chair, how will this affect the position of Prime Minister Fiala?

Poll

Why did Zeman retreat in the case of Lipavský?

He is old and sick and doesn't feel like arguing 1% He realized that Lipavský is great 1% Fiala threatened him with a reduction in the CPR budget 3% He wants Lipavský to make himself impossible 84% There is something more to it 11% voted: 20450 people We don't know, what expectations are to be met. But as I already stated; Mr. Lipavský is a member of Aspen, which is just an extended arm of part of the administration of the United States of America. I assume that Lipavský will diligently fulfill the assignment of his boss; it's just very likely that the boss doesn't sit, at least not officially and permanently, in Strakovka. I cannot estimate how long Mr. Fiala and the conservative part of the ODS will put up with it.

And would President Zeman take advantage of this situation and remind us that he tried to prevent it?

As I know Miloš Zeman, he certainly wouldn't forgive a small, friendly nudge.

So what is your opinion on Lipavský's foreign positions?

According to what he has said so far, he and his colleague Langšádlova will probably declare war on Russia and subsequently enter conquered Moscow at the head of combat units with an assault rifle in hand. Personally, I do not consider it very realistic, but Mr. Lipavský certainly dreams of something like that. I would prefer to cooperate with Moscow in exactly the same way as with anyone else. It makes more sense to me.

Jan Lipavský is said to be bothered by the state of human rights in Russia.

How Mr. Lipavský sees human rights in Russia is completely irrelevant. What matters is how the Russians see human rights in Russia, and they don't seem to be particularly concerned with this matter.

However, since we are talking about human rights, we should mainly take care of ourselves. For example, it is a fact that freedom of speech in the Czech Republic is only formal, not real, which, it seems, is not only of no interest to anyone, but many are even comfortable with it. However, freedom of speech in the Czech Republic in 2021 is no higher than freedom of speech in the Czechoslovakia in 1988. In many ways, it is actually even worse today.

How do you evaluate the whole negotiation about the government?

Before the election, the coalition of five clearly said that they wanted to govern together, and now they are governing together, so everything is fine. I only remotely congratulate the conservative voters of the ODS on the election of ultra-left extremists, because those who voted for the ODS also voted for the Pirates.

Is the state doing enough to lower energy prices?

You have already mentioned that the government coalition of five rejected the blanket remission of VAT for rising energy prices, as planned by the previous government. In fact, she didn't even allow the topic to be discussed. He claims that people in need will be able to apply for help. The SPD movement, of which you are a member of parliament, together with the ANO movement, made their displeasure quite evident. It was even reported that the coalition of five wants to force people to beg for money. Would a VAT waiver help?

Since VAT makes up a fairly significant part of the price of energy, it would undoubtedly help. Another thing should be the immediate withdrawal from the so-called Green Deal, which is promoted by the insane highest Politburo of the European Union, i.e. the European Commission.

As regards the solution announced by the coalition of five, Prime Minister Fiala et al. they probably have one world primate. They are probably the first coalition that describes itself as right-wing, which wants to solve a problem not by reducing taxes, but by introducing new social benefits.

Do you expect the Minister of Health Vlastimil Válek to handle the coronavirus situation more thoroughly than has been the case so far? Why yes or no?

I don't expect it, because so far I haven't heard anything from the Minister of War that his predecessors hadn't already said.

Even SPD chairman Tomio Okamura criticized that the coalition of five has not yet presented a plan to solve the energy crisis. In your opinion, will the practice of purchasing Czech electricity on the German stock exchange in Leipzig, where the Czech Republic buys it at high prices, change? Or in the amount of electricity exported abroad from the Czech Republic?

Imagine the newspaper headline: Foreign Minister Lipavský went to Moscow to negotiate with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov about supplies of energy raw materials from Russia to the Czech Republic. I can only imagine such a headline on April 1.

The former head of news at Prima TV, Jitka Obzinová, was originally supposed to lead the news at Czech Radio (after the resistance of the employees, this will not happen). The president of TOP 09, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, stated about the plan that it was not an appropriate decision. They would also like to start elections for the councils of public media in the coalition and change the election system. Will the public media be the mouthpiece of the new government?

I have heard Mrs. Pekarová shout about a hundred times that politicians should not interfere in the operation of public media. So she probably doesn't feel like a politician, but rather like a model. After all, she herself claimed that she was looking forward to how she would represent the Czech Republic. If, of course, the position of chairman of the Chamber of Deputies is not a political position, but a kind of representative position, then I suggest that the chairman or the chairman should not be sought in political parties, but in competitions such as the Miss Wet T-Shirt election.

As for public media, in my opinion, it would be best to make them joint-stock companies in 100% state ownership, with directors always appointed by the Minister of Culture or the government as a whole. Then it would be clear who is responsible for the operation of these media, and the voters would hold the politicians and thus the public media to account at the elections once every four years.

Today it is the case that the only right that the public has towards these media is the obligation to send them money and to be bullied, ridiculed, lectured and insulted by them. I would also add that the transfer of the mentioned media to the state would of course also end radio and television fees.

Regarding the impartiality of the Czech Consent and Czech Television, it probably makes no sense to say anything more comprehensive - after all, everyone can see what is happening there. Czech Television in particular has become the mouthpiece of progressivism or, if you prefer, neo-Marxism and a tool for promoting the economic interests of a narrow group of people.

We elders remember how Comrade Jambor explained the infallibility of the then Stranovlád and the treachery of the imperialists on Czechoslovak television in the 1980s. Today, Czech Television is full of such Jambor comrades. They have better jackets, are better combed and younger, but otherwise they are exactly the same. Only Marxism in the Brezhnev concept was replaced by the Marxist cultural revolution according to L. D. Trotsky and the Soviet Union by the European Union.

And since the new government intends to promote a similar agenda – I congratulate the conservative ODS voters again – it will surely have a harmonious, perhaps even loving relationship with Czech Television. And the first fruit of this relationship will probably be an increase in television fees.

On the other hand, you talked about canceling television fees. How should Czech Television be financed?

Like all other media, i.e. from advertising. Then, in addition to public law, it could also fulfill economic tasks. It would be similar to CEZ. Czech Television would operate on the free market, generate profit and it would end up in the state treasury.
