Pavel Žáček: Bureš vs.

Falmer: Who drives who? or Arguments in favour of the Lustra Act (FORUM 24 ) The Chairman of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) Vojtěch Filip personally presented another attempt to abolish the so-called the Federal Parliament in October 1991 laid down the conditions for filling the highest positions in state bodies (military, police, intelligence services, etc.), public administration, public media and other organizations. Clearly, it was only a matter of time before the Communists took advantage of their current semi-coalition position against the government of Andrej Babiš and again attempted to change the character of democratic governance in the Czech Republic. Given the importance of the subject, I will try to repeat and summarise some of the arguments from our Friday discussion at Ct24:1. The Communist Party leadership, which constantly repeats claims of political discontinuity between the pre-November Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Communist Party, supports the rehabilitation of the highest nomenclature scapegoats of the totalitarian regime, members of the People's Militia, political members of different levels, nationalsecurity officers and their secret collaborators or graduates of Soviet security schools and courses. Their position on the so-called "black market". however, the Law confirms that the Communist Party is linked to the ideology of the communist totalitarian regime and still defends the interests of its then representatives and supporters.2. The President of the KSČM Filip fully expediently elevates the position of the International Labour Organisation over the finding of the Federal Constitutional Court of November 1992, in which, among other things, the Commission decided to take part in the decision of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union. noted that a democratic state has not only the right, but also an obligation to enforce and protect the principles on which it was founded and has the right, in its state and public authorities, to require loyalty to these democratic principles in order to fulfil certain state-of-civil assumptions.3. However, it is also necessary to emphasise the fact that the chairman of the Communist Party Filip, who was a former communist intelligence associate (I. administration) with the code name FALMER, came up with this proposal. Clearly, for the leadership of the KSČM, its president's national security past is a prerequisite for his political profile, but for other democratic political actors who do not adore the totalitarian past, this personnel policy should not be acceptable.4. As The President of the Communist Party Filip himself admitted, his judgment is not a wording about the "unauthorized record" by communist intelligence (as in hundreds of other cases) – in other words, that he was not an "agent" with the code name FALMER, but merely a claim: he did not know that he was cooperating with State Security. Regardless of whether we believe or believe in the fact that he had no idea who actually sent it abroad, whether the České Budějovice Regional Department of Intelligence or crime, the Ministry of the Interior will issue him with a positive chandelier certificate in the event of an application under the legislation in force.5. The most important question, however, is whether the chairman of the Communist Party of Labour, Philip, deals only with his past (and the past of his party comrades), or whether he is not coming to power with his government partner, who has brought them back to power after three decades. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš did not initiate this latest communist political provocation. As is widely known, Andrej Babiš was registered under the code name BUREŠ and cooperated with XII. administration in Bratislava. And he is currently dealing with a similar problem, complicated by the fact that he has not been able to win a court in Slovakia for many years. Just as the Chairman of the KSČM knows that if he had to apply to the Ministry of the Interior, he would also receive a positive chandelier certificate. It is far from the truth of the bonmot i articulated in discussing distrust of the government: the ANO-KSČM coalition is also built on a joint experience of cooperation between the two political leaders with State Security. They're her tombs.7. The so-called Great Chandelier Act, Act No. 451/1991 Coll., is not a discriminatory legal norm, but a constitutionally conformist protective democratic establishment, the leaders of state administration, state and public institutions. The proposal to remove it from our legal order in the absence of a semi-communist government must be seen as a serious provocation against every Democrat associated with November 1989. If we were to hold any public protests at the moment, especially in defense of the Chandelier Act.8. If the Chairman of the KSČM Filip were serious about the words about the integration of our society, guided by the efforts to continue not to divide it, he should let his political entity dissolve. On the one hand, a party shamefully linked to the bloody Communist regime would disappear from our public life, while also getting rid of the fifth column of the Russian Federation. This requirement is, of course, unrealistic, but why not remind you that it is normal not to have communists in parliament.
