Roman Kolář stated that the claim by SPD, according to which the Czech Republic was not invited to an important exercise in Poland, was true, but he noted that it did not mention that the Czech army was supposed to first offer what forces it would send. According to Kolář, the government did not allow it. Andrej Babiš, according to him, along with Robert Fico, refused to guarantee the loan to Ukraine. Kolář stated that Ukraine was holding back Russian forces, which he labeled as fascist, and they were also threatening the Czech Republic according to him. Kolář labeled Babiš's refusal to guarantee as not securing Czech defense and argued that if Ukraine fell, Czech citizens would die because of it. He used a derogatory term related to the StB against Babiš. Kolář described Friedrich Merz's demand as reasonable. He wrote that Germany has sent hundreds of billions to the Czech Republic for development over the past years and that half of the things in the Czech Republic, including roads, railways, schools, and hospital equipment, were funded by EU money. He labeled the government and SPD as collaborators and claimed that in one year they managed what Hungarian Viktor Orbán had done in ten years. According to him, the remaining three years of the government meant endangering security, cooperating with the Russians, and embezzling the country. He added that the government quietly approved another 250 million for the largest agricultural enterprises. #Politika #Bezpečnost #Ukrajina (translated)
