European Order of Merit, Albína Reiserová, 2021
-
Tilkanas appeared on a screen, from her bed at her apartment.
"It is very true that this films were "PG" in nature, but they serve to, just as other types of other films, objectify women and portray them as objects of a certain nature, for the gratification of men. The movies that President Reiserová follow in this pattern; while her acting is commendable, the lines that were given to her are meant to bring her down in this way, I believe. The romance that you speak of is, from this perspective, very inappropriate despite its surface-level appropriateness. It is still exploitation, of a very similar type.
In particular, her films not merely promote this but also ultra-conservative social mores, I believe. Of course, we think these are all about modesty - but they view women, again, as exploitable objects. Regardless, I know as a fact that, for example, Erkas Tilisek, a fascist from my home country who prevented the German minority from living in the modern world, by denying them modern healthcare, literacy, electricity, sanitation, and anything resembling human rights, is an admirer of them. When her home was raided upon her arrest - and of course it had access to all of those things she denied to the Germans - a collection of films of this type, possibly including some of those President Reiserová acted in, was found, them being in the house because they "promoted traditional morality and the stable and moral family," butcould not be released to the public due to their promotion of "Godless philosophies." I am sure President Reiserová was not culpable for the ideas the films she was made to act in perpetuated, and I am sure she made many innovations while doing this, but this was exploitation pure and simple that served only to further perpetuate hierarchies, from extreme patriarchy across the world to feudalism in my own country."
Iras Tilkanas

I request that debate be extended.
Yuridiana Yahontov
Councilor, Kingdom of Reitzmag -
Granted, Councillor Yahontov.
Debate on this shall CONTINUE until 17:54 GMT on October 10th, 2021.
Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
In my opinion, Albína Reiserová has done nothing valuable to be awarded with the European Order of Merit. Call me uncultured, but I have not seen any of her contributions to and promotions of the European Arts and Culture, so giving an Order of Merit to somebody that many Europeans don't know what she does or where she has performed or appeared is not ethical. In fact, I believe this Act is supported on political beliefs and not on real merits or actions that proof Albína Resiserová should be awarded with this prestigious award. There is not much else to say about the Czech Prime Minister or this proposal, just that I will vote against this proposal.
Thank you very much.
