Zeman's announcement
This man is a shame for a country in his position. If he would have said that as a anormal individual nobody would have taken it serious, but he said that as prime minister of the Czech Republic.
I heve seen the report on ZDF and ARD, my girl firend is Czech native speaker, Mr. Zeman can't argue that he was badly translated, the offical translator translated what this man said.
The reaction of EC is as well logical the Arabic world is one of the main export areas of EC and our economies are depend on the naturla esources of this area, as well as yours in the Czech Republic. Where will your economy be without oil form the gulf region.There are diferent interest of all countries in this region, but all of them are legitim.
Are you as Czech citizen sure that you are able to join the European Community which such a person as your prime minister. I have read that his intention is to get a job in Brusseles, either in EC-Parlamant or as qusi "Minister". If that realy happens, i must say POOR EUROPEAN COMMUNITY" who will take you then serious, when you are not taken serious anymore since the war at the balkan.
Zeman has shown what this country stand for ( not able to solve and deal with his own history <Benes decretes, repatriation of jewish property>), people still stay behind him, the votes will show how democratic this country and the people (voters) are. Do they accept persons like Zeman further in their government or not. How much democratcy has a country where people have no right to hold a plebiscite.
