Bishop Secretary Silas Kligenberg made his opinion known to the Czech Embassy

Silas Kligenberg, Inquista's Bishop Secretary for the Economy and Treasury, lodged an official complaint to the embassy of Czech Slavia today, alleging that the opposition parties in Czech Slavia were attempting to "destabilise Europe", and in particular, Inquista. The Bishop Secretary requested that the government of Czech Slavia discipline these parties appropriately.

The complaint follows an incident on Friday, where members of an organization known as Češi za svobodu heckled the Bishop Secretary during a press briefing. Češi za svobodu is a civic and émigré organisation for Czechs living in Inquista, and the organisation holds considerable political sway over Inquista's Czech immigrant community. Opinion polling has consistently shown that many Czech immigrants in Inquista maintain a very unfavourable view of the current Czech government, its ruling party, and especially President Reiserová. Češi za svobodu has staged various protests, rallies, and leaflet campaigns throughout Saint Dominico in the last two weeks, where they have denounced and deemed the recent elections in Czech Slavia as fraudulent, and have cried out against the upcoming referendum in which President Reiserová will likely be made president for life. The group seeks to have Inquistan leaders and the Inquistan Orthodox Church publicly condemn these latest developments in Czech Slavia, and reverse Inquista's course of maintaining positive relations with the country.

Bishop Secretary Kligenberg did not react to the hecklers kindly, and swiftly had members of his security detail remove them from his press conference. Bishop Secretary Kligenberg went on to point out that Češi za svobodu had endorsed various political opposition parties in Czech Slavia during the recent elections, namely the AIMCD, the PDL, and the Green Party, and that it recently celebrated the re-registration of the Czech National Democracy party. The Bishop Secretary slammed Češi za svobodu for "acting as international agents and agitators on behalf of foreign entities," and branded them as "mouthpieces and puppets" of Czech opposition parties, which he then told to "focus on Czech affairs, not Inquistan affairs."

The Bishop Secretary then promptly lodged his complaint to the Czech embassy, where he stated that "Czech Opposition parties are trying to destabilise Europe", and alleged that the country's opposition parties are trying to influence the rest of Europe against Czech Slavia using organisations such as Češi za svobodu. Bishop Secretary Kligenberg went on to ask the government of Czech Slavia to "please deal with the agitators before they create an international incident or resort to extremism, which will inevitably lead down to a path of terrorism."

Chief Secretary Edward Firoux was quick to play down Bishop Secretary Kligenberg's complaint, and instead released a statement of his own in which he emphasized that Inquista is a country in which every person is entitled to the right to protest and participate in free political discourse. Chief Secretary Firoux reiterated that the Inquistan Orthodox Church holds no positions on internal Czech political issues, but that he welcomes Češi za svobodu and any other organisation to exercise their democratic rights and freedoms in Inquista.
