But when a few days ago on a podcast server Info.cz He said that the deaths of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and President Miloš Zeman were in the state interest, some of his fellow parties had already run out of patience.

“It is in the Czech interest for Babiš and Zeman to die,” said Mayor Pavel Novotný. I try to make statements from other politicians too …

The former Minister of Industry and Trade and the current candidate for South Bohemian governor, Martin Kuba, opposed Novotný’s statement on Facebook. He described politics as a duel of ideas and concrete solutions, which should not be about statements that one of the political rivals should die. “I refuse to make this the norm in the ODS, which is supposed to defend the freedom and life of each individual,” Kuba wrote, according to which the statement was across the line. “I admit that it is not clear to me why the chairman of the party, Petr Fiala, does not comment on this immediately,” he added.

Petr Fiala List He told the reports before Thursday’s extraordinary session of the Chamber that he objected to Novotný’s statement. “I do not agree with those statements, of course we will solve it. We have internal party mechanisms for that, which we will use, “he said. Ordinary deputies did not want to comment on the Novotný case.

The list of reports also addressed the chairman of the Prague regional association, to which the mayor of Řeporyjí belongs, whether his statements and the future will be resolved with the Civic Democrats. Novotný certainly does not want to exclude the cell he belongs to.

“Both the prime minister and the president are defeated in the presidential election and are not eliminated militarily. Similar statements do not belong in politics. I’ll talk to Pavel about it when his conversation with the party leadership is over. But he is smart enough for me to give him some moral authority, “says the head of the Prague association, Tomáš Portlík, who reportedly catches it himself during Novotný’s expression. “But he can’t be denied a certain innovation, he has the ability to raise various topics, he has an unmistakable style and people perceive him that way. I understand him in many things, I know where he’s going, but I guess I need to tell myself when it’s too much, “he adds.

The woman is pissed that I said that the death of Babiš and Zeman would be in the interest of the Czech Republic. She doesn’t like the iDnes. He doesn’t take my argument that I don’t wish death to anyone, and I told the truth. She’s afraid of what @ODScz and they don’t believe it was the last flight I know shouldn’t have happened. I have a smart wife.
