WHAT'S ON BRITSKÉ LISTY
The Dilettante's Problem
21. 7. 2010 / Štěpán Kotrba
To have as president of the biggest political party a dilettante is the systematic problem of the whole opposition. Bohuslav Sobotka's pilgrimage from his Austerlitz (where he is a member of the municipal council), the Parliament and the Social Democrats` headquarters (the so-called People's House - Lidový dům), was not enough for him to realize that his shadow Minister of Interior and Secret Services, former minister of that same resort and intelligent services expert, pastor Bublan, is doggedly silent about the "Moroz" affair.
Not only he, but also the previous Minister of Interior, appointed by the Social Democratic party for last year's caretaker government, Martin Pecina, is keeping his mouth shut. And they know why...
After all, it should have been the party's shadow minister, or at least the most recent former minister of that resort indicated by them, who should have come about to talk about the issue, instead of the layman who is in he post of interim president.
Especially if the problem relates to a resort where experience, expertise and professionalism mean more than party membership.
So the unsuspecting Slávek made a turgid move (like formerly prime minister Paroubek in 2005, commenting CzechTek - greatest european open air technoparty in this year, in Czech Republic, breaked up with czech police). If I don't understand something, I keep my mouth shut, so nobody will notice that I don't know anything about it.
Only the reporters from news server Aktuálně.cz allow themselves to be briefed by frustrated secret services agents over a beer at the pub. But there are things in the field of national security that one simply keeps quiet about. For a long time and doggedly. But that is something dilettantes (including the Aktuálně reporters) do not seem to be aware of.
