“I declare on my honor: Jan Cimický sexually attacked me outside the door of his office, when I was not even 23 years old. I hereby publicly protest against the award of Jan Cimický by the President of the Czech Republic. In my opinion, Mr Cimický should have left the public space long ago and hoped that his victims would remain silent. The fact that he decided to accept the Medal of Merit from the President is the last straw that my cup of silence has definitely overflowed. The sexual predator, who has been hiding behind a medical degree for decades, should not receive an award for merit in our country, “she wrote in a now deleted article quoted by the media.

I am not able to judge their truthfulness, however, in this situation I think it would be reasonable to abandon the award. The doctor should clear his name first, “Babiš said.

My colleague from Czech Television, moderator Martina Vrbová Hynková, published her experience with psychiatrist Jan Cimický. Her memory is different only in that she did not look for Martin’s psychiatrist’s office as his patient, but as a collaborator from a television project. pic.twitter.com/4xrYFocflF
