58 years ago, the occupation took away hope for freedom and democracy in Czechoslovakia.

Víte, jak zajistit levnou elektřinu pro všechny? Postavíme elektrárnu na Slavíně. Prostě připevníme turbíny na všechny tam pohřbené vlastence a budeme jim dokola pouštět projev Aleny Schillerové k výročí okupace 1968. Zazněl dnes dopoledne před Českým rozhlasem. Nikdy by mě nenapadlo, že se dožiju chvíle, kdy si spolupracovnice StB agentů vezme do úst Františka Kriegla. A že osoba, která ohrožuje naši obranyschopnost i veřejnoprávní media, bude mít tu drzost vystoupit v tento den před ČRo, bez mrknutí oka. O nezávislost médií a obranu naší svobody a bezpečnosti budeme s Piráty bojovat ze všech sil. #elektřina #mediálníSvoboda #Česko
