Do you remember what you were doing on September 11, 2001? That's a question that each of us has probably been asked at some point. My twelve-year-old daughter just asked me.

In Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, in these proud European countries on the northeastern edge of the West, I have been staying more often in recent years. These days, I really think about them a lot.

Publicist Serhij Tomilenko is at the head of the Union of Journalists of Ukraine. He is now in Prague at the invitation of the Czech Syndicate of Journalists, and so we conducted an interview for FORUM 24 at Café Louvre about Ukrainian journalists who are imprisoned and tortured by the Russians. Glory to Ukraine, the shield of Europe!🍀🇺🇦🍀 (translated)

The Ankara case shows that it is not just a personal dispute. It is about the very character of our state and the survival of democracy. Babiš's government has so far demonstrated total destruction, and it has only been half a year in Straka's office. More in my commentary for FORUM 24. (translated)

"Without us anticipating the final decision of the Constitutional Court, one thing is certain: Andrej Babiš's response to the verdict will show whether this power-hungry bureaucrat intends to adhere to democratic rules, or if we are entering another phase of building an authoritarian regime." (translated)

"Yes, you could say that," said Deputy Vondráček, and thus he boldly and publicly admitted that the proposed amendment to the criminal code is a "purposeful measure" designed to protect Prime Minister Andrej Babiš from conviction in the Čapí hnízdo case.
