Občanský deník (Newspaper of the Civic Forum)
Don't let them disappear
While the shackles of tyranny are almost shaken off, we must never forget those who were keeping us in them this entire time. One of the greatest allies communist governments had was the secret police StB, operating from shadows, always listening, always watching. They made sure that none that dared to criticize the government could have any secrecy. And now when we are all working tirelessly to prepare Czech Slavia for new democratic government, free of the influence of the totalitarian communist party the secret police agents are the ones that try hide. Even in these times, when communist government has fallen and there can be little doubt that democratic parties will form the next government, those agents remain dangerously influential and will without a doubt try to occupy positions of influence even in a democracy. That would however make our democracy very flawed.
We can't be satisfied unless we make sure that those people can't ever get into positions of power again. That is why CF will demand that the names of the secret police agents are made public and when the democratic parties will form the next government, CF will make sure that StB is disbanded and new secret service, that will protect the country, rather then harass its citizens is created. StB agents didn't allow any of us to have secrecy, we should not allow them to have any either.

Armed forces to depoliticize
The parliament has decided to depoliticize the armed forces., removing the positions of political commissars and prohibiting soldiers from being members of any political party or movement. CPCS was split on the issue, but other parties were united so the motion passed.
Minister of Defense from the CPCS Alexander Bílý criticized the move as potentially damaging for the expertise of the leadership, as all generals have so far been member of the CPCS. Many generals however already left the party, for example generals Rytíř and Procházka. The position of political commissars was according to Bílý instrumental in strengthening the morale of the troops and its abolition will also damage the armed forces.
More unions to be permitted
Up until now all unions in The Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia were organized directly by the state as the CPCS officials argued that all power in Czech Slavia belongs to the workers and therefor the interests of the state are the same as the workers and unions. Other parties were very critical of this union policy which according to them was restrictive. Now that all parties take part in government even the CPCS came in support of permitting more unions to be registered as they claim that current government's interests do not always align with the interests of the working class. Political scientists generally agree that this move shows that the CPCS is afraid it won't be able to participate in the next government.
Prime minister Plachta expressed strong support for allowing more unions to register.
Republic or Monarchy debate
Civic Forum member of Parliament Miroslava Císařová said that Czech Slavia should consider changing from a republic to a constitutional monarchy. The most obvious claimants to the potential Czech throne would be Austrian Habsburgs, but that is complicated as the known members of the family are currently imprisoned in Austria. Still some supporters of monarchy claim they would be determined to try and get Habsburgs on the Czech throne. But that is not the only obstacle in giving Czech crown to a member of the Habsburg family, as they remain controversial.
Other possible monarchs could come from Fremetian noble family or even a Czech former noble family as some descendants of former nobles are members of the CF. A figure of a king or a queen could have the effect of uniting the populace and preventing a rise of a populist politician trying to seize power, according to Císařová and other supporters of the monarchy . Císařová herself however said that she proposed this mostly for the people to consider the dangers of populism, that could lead Czech Slavia astray from the "road to freedom" and if a referendum on restoration of monarchy actually happened she would vote to keep the republic. Some others in the CF are however serious in their support of the restoration of monarchy but as the proposition has no support in the other parties and only a little serious support inside of the CF it seems that this debate will remain mostly between CF member base.
Planned military parade with the armed forces of the UNSR is cancelled
The government has cancelled the planned military parade with the armed forces of the UNSR. The question of recognition of the UNSR currently lies in the parliament. CSCP is determined to continue recognizing the UNSR as the legitimate government of Icholasen while CF is determined to recognize the Nine Dominions of Icholasen as the legitimate government of Icholasen. CND and SDPCS are currently split on the issue.

Czech Rare Earth Metals mining industry to be partially privatized
The government of Michal Plachta has announced that part of the Czech Rare Earth Metals mining industry will be privatized as part of the privatization process that Czech Slavia is going through. Citing the ineffectiveness of state in handling of the industry. Governor of the South Bohemian region Radek Šedivý from CPCS has criticized the government decision, claiming that privatization of such an important sector of economy could lead to the private company firing Czech workers out of their jobs and if the industry fell into hands of foreign company the profits would be taken away from Czech Slavia.
Some of the CPCS members of the parliament regard this move as a breech of the limited privatization that passed through the parliament. Prime minster Plachta ensured the workers that the privatization would bring much needed developments and that his government will not allow the future owners to replace Czech workers with foreign workers.

Defense minister Bílý seizes The Office of the Government
Defense minister Alexander Bílý marched unopposed into The Office of the Government of The Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia with a group of militants. He announced that the government of Michal Plachta has broken the agreement reached by the representatives of all parliamentary political parties. He claimed that the CPCS no longer has confidence in his government and demanded that Prime minister Plachta's resignation. Prime minister Plachta was not present at The Office of the Government at the moment as he was on his way to meet with miners to explain the position of the government on the privatization of certain mines. President Vratislav Sova joined Bílý and also demands Plachta's resignation
The streets of Prague are now becoming separated as citizens, police officers and militants erect barricades in the streets. Mayor of Prague Oldřich Houba from CF has urged the city police to stay on alert and keep the city under control, and stop the People's Militias from capturing parts of the city. However the city police has been split with some officers abiding the mayor's orders and other officers abiding the orders of minister Bílý and joining the militants. The militants were not able to march on the City Hall, being stopped by the barricades, but they were able to capture Ruzyně International Airport. Minister Bílý is calling more member of the People's Militias to go to Prague, he also declared the cancellation of the planned military parade with the armed forces of the UNSR invalid and said that there will be this joint parade "very soon". Parts of the city has also been captured by small anarchist groups that oppose both sides. There are reported injuries but no reported fatalities.
Governors of South Bohemian, Vysočina, Plzeň, Ústí nad Labem, Olomouc and Moravian-Silesian region have joined minister Bílý and ensured that they will will do everything in their power to help the militants to get into the capital city. Other governors either didn't make a statement yet or said that they will wait on more directions from the CPCS itself. Leader of the CPCS, former prime minister Slavomíra Černá didn't make a comment on those developments.
Prime minister Plachta himself also didn't make a comment on the developments. Leaders of CF, CND and SDPCS on the other hand said that Bílý is attempting a coup and that the Parliament, where the CPCS has a majority, hasn't passed a motion of no confidence in Plachta's government and Bílý has no right to speak on the behalf of the Parliament. They suggested that Bílý is trying to scare the members of the parliament into passing a motion of no confidence. Bílý reacted by saying that the leadership of CF, CND and SDPCS are the ones attempting a coup and that the CPCS has a mandate from free and fair elections and he knows that Plachta's government is no longer acceptable to the members of CPCS. He also suggested that the leadership of those parties are the ones that are trying to use fear in order to get members of the parliament to continue recognizing the government. Parliament itself has been called into session on tomorrow.
Leadership of the army pledged their support to Plachta and gave the militants a three day ultimatum to cease their activities, otherwise they will be forced to move into Prague. As of now there however are mutinies in the army as some men and women in the armed forces support minister Bílý.
At the moment it is uncertain what are the goals of Alexander Bílý other then to repeal the depoliticization of the army laws.

Parliament splits, Černá expresses support to Bílý
Yesterdays session of the Parliament resulted in its split. Some communist members of the parliament didn't turn up on the session but instead hold a session of their own. During heated debates many more CPCS members left the session to go and joined the communist splinter parliament. Among them chairwoman of the CPCS and former prime minister Slavomíra Černá who as she left said that Plachta did lose confidence of the CPCS and Bílý is right to demand his resignation. The splinter parliament remains smaller, now heaving 79 members out of the 200. Both parliaments now demand different things, with one demanding resignation of Bílý and the other demanding resignation of Plachta. Prime minister Plachta still remains silent on the matter.

Explosion in the Office of the Government, defense minister Bílý dead
Defense minister Alexander Bílý and Colonel Josef Voda died today in an explosion in the Office of the Government of Czech Slavia. The men took control of the Office two days ago, demanding the resignation of Prime minister Plachta.
Actress Albína Reiserová was in a room with Bílý and Voda just mere minutes before the explosion and described the act as "unbelievably barbaric". She also said that she hopes the perpetrators of this act will get caught and accordingly punished.
Mayor of Prague, Oldřich Houba, condemned the assassination but urged the People's Militias to give up their control of parts of the city. Reiserová, who believes that Houba is behind the assassination in which she nearly died, on the other hand urged the People's Militias to stay on the streets.
Many members of the CPCS, including the chairwoman Slavomíra Černá, are sending condolences to the family of Bílý and they say that his death is a loss for Czech Slavia. Governor of the South Bohemian region Radek Šedivý suggested a creation of a committee to punish those behind the assassination quickly and accordingly.
Prime minister Michal Plachta also sent condolences to the family of Bílý and condemned the assassination. He also briefly commented on the recent developments in Czech Slavia saying that unless he would resign he is the prime minister and that he does not plan to resign as of now. He is ready to listen to Slavomíra Černá and replace Bílý with another CPCS candidate and urged People's Militias to go home, before the armed forces will have to intervene. Plachta received criticism from all the parliamentary parties for his reaction.
As of now, the death of minister Bílý and colonel Voda remain the only fatalities in the current crisis.

Communist Party of Czech Slavia changes its name to Socialist Republican Party to mark the reforms in the party
Dear comrades, in order to move over and avoid past mistakes in the future, CPCS accepted reforms in its program that will greatly benefit the people of Czech Slavia.
- Economic reform will be carried through. What was privatized under the government of Michal Plachta will not be re-nationalized, limited and cautious privatization will continue as well as the opening of the Czech market to foreign companies. Important and essential industries and resources including water and the Rare Earth Metals mining industry will however not be privatized.
- The Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia will be transformed into a presidential republic, with the minimum age of the president being lowered from 40 to 35. The position of Prime Minister will be abolished. President shall still be elected directly by the people. The duration of the term and term limits shall remain the same.
To symbolise the acceptance of the reforms, Communist Party of Czech Slavia changes its name to Socialist Republican Party. These changes however doesn't change our devotion to socialism and democracy. Once order is restored in Czech Slavia, the reforms will be carried out immediately and the damaging policies of the government of Michal Plachta will be reverted.
The reforms were accepted unanimously after they have been suggested by comrades Šedivý, Reiserová and Vicanová.
Stay vigilant, tomorrow is ours!
Valiant efforts of the StB halt military advance on Prague!
The valiant efforts of the StB officers proved effective as the military was unable to reach Prague today. Military leadership has betrayed the people of Czech Slavia by siding with the bourgeois forces, and threaten to subdue those fighting to keep their freedom with brute force. Yet many brave soldiers recognized the treasonous nature of the military leadership and heroically refused to follow the orders which go against the people.
The brave agents of the StB meanwhile managed to sabotage the infrastructure, destroying bridges and the railways. Armed forces were forced to halt their march towards Prague as they are unable to transport military vehicles there at the moment. The struggle for the democratic republic continues, we must not allow ourselves to let our guard down and the final victory will be ours!

Leadership of the army reevaluated its stance. Prime minister Plachta resigned.
General Rytíř announced today that leadership of the armed forces after consideration doesn't find the actions of People's Militias to break the law and that they are dropping their ultimatum and won't enter Prague unless Šedivý, Reiserová or Vicanová would agree with that.
Small amount of troops is already at the gates of Prague but haven't entered the city as they were waiting for reinforcements. The decision came only hours after the news that UNSR armed forces will land in Prague to take order in military parade was published. Šedivý said that Czech troops will shall enter Prague only after the Nicoleizian troops arrive.
Few hours after the leadership of the armed forces decided to not enter Prague prime minister Michal Plachta submitted his resignation to president Vratislav Sova.

Public trail with members of the Anarchist Federation
Today marks the first public session of the Extraordinary People's Court. The first trail was with six members of Anarchist Federation that, in a time of great crisis seized some buildings in Prague including schools, endangering many. Indeed some of the defendants had visible injuries, showcasing how dangerous their actions were. At the time Anarchist Federation claimed that it was acting independently, but the watchful eye of the Party always saw through that claim!
The trial was quick, with all of the defendants pleading guilty and confirming what many already thought, that they were paid by former mayor of Prague Oldřich Houba, but more disturbingly, that Houba tried to convince them to commit violent acts against the People of Czech Slavia! All of the defendants expressed guilt over endangering the people, democracy and the socialist state and recognized the severity of their crimes.
The Extraordinary People's Court showed great wisdom and due to the defendants working with the court sentenced all six of the members of the Anarchist Federation with only one year in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry. In no time hard work will transform the delinquents into upstanding comrades, we can be sure of that!
Public trail with the former mayor of Prague Oldřich Houba
The second public session of the Extraordinary People's Court was a trial with the former mayor of Prague Oldřich Houba. Houba was charged with treason, murder of Alexander Bílý and Josef Voda, planning the murder of Albína Reiserová, attempting to initiate violence and persuading people to commit crimes.
The defendant was also visibly injured, he admitted of getting injured when he was attempting to flee Czech Slavia to escape justice and fell down the stairs in the hurry. The defendant pleaded guilty of all the crimes, with the exception of murdering Alexander Bílý and Josef Voda and planning the murder of Albína Reiserová. and the court found him guilty of all the crimes with the exception of the two. Houba however admitted that the murder was likely ordered by the leading member of opposition parties, which is highly disturbing as it shows that the web of traitors is perhaps larger than anticipated at first.
Oldřich Houba was sentenced to twenty five years in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry. Justice once again triumphed, and it will continue to triumph over the web of traitors, no matter how wide that web is!

Presidential election 2020 - Possible Candidates
As the Czech presidential election is closing in we bring our readers information about the potential presidential candidates. SRP will be the only party to nominate a presidential candidate in this election as all other parties that had their representatives in parliament are currently under investigation. There are currently three candidates seeking the nomination of the SRP. Governor of the South Bohemian Region and a new Speaker of the Parliament Radek Šedivý (41), Head of the Extraordinary People's Court Albína Reiserová (40) and Head of the State Security (StB) Karolína Vicanová (39).
Radek Šedivý is currently the favorite as he has the largest faction in the parliament and is seen as economically the most left-wing candidate. Karolína Vicanová has the second largest faction behind her and is seen as the most right-wing candidate. Albína Reiserová currently has the smallest faction and is seen as a centre candidate.
-
Political freedoms
All Candidates agree that the political restrictions now present in Czech Slavia should be removed as soon as Czech Slavia exits the state of emergency and that Czech Slavia should be a multi-party democracy. -
Economy
All candidates agree that economy must be liberalized. There however are some disagreements over the scale of liberalization. Šedivý favors state remaining the dominant force in all economic sectors, not allowing the creation of large companies and placing strict limitations on foreign companies. Vicanová on the other hand would allow creation of large Czech companies and her limitations on foreign companies would be much less strict. Reiserová would also allow creation of large Czech companies and favors less strict limitations on foreign companies, but she would maintain state as a dominant force in many sectors and state owned companies to be competitors to those privately owned.In the case of Rare Earth Metals mining industry, Šedivý and Reiserová support expanding the industry citing the promise given to Inquista as reason. Vicanová claims she also wants to fulfill that promise, but would limit its scope and supports keeping the industry the same instead venturing in other areas of economy.
-
Secret police
Šedivý and Reiserová both pledged that they would limit the size and powers of secret police while its leader Vicanová claims that Czech Slavia needs to keep its Secret police in its current form if it wants to keep its freedom. -
Religious freedom
Šedivý claims that perhaps in past religious freedoms were somewhat limited and that to attract foreign companies and tourists Czech Slavia should review its stance on religious freedom. Vicanová and Reiserová however maintain that there were no restrictions on religious freedoms in the past and there are none of these restrictions currently.

Speaker of the Parliament Radek Šedivý gives a message to other countries.
Speaker of the Parliament Radek Šedivý had a speech today addressed to other countries. He said that he understands that other countries may be worried over the recent developments in Czech Slavia and he understands why some countries decided to respond with economic-political actions. He said that Czech Slavia will therefore not seek retaliation and will instead focus on keeping friendly relations with other countries . He also urged foreign companies to not be afraid to do their trades in Czech Slavia as the country is finally stable.
"I want to ensure other countries that we are not hiding anything from them, any foreign observers are welcomed to observe our elections and other activities. Yes there currently are some limitations in Czech Slavia, but these are necessary and are only temporary measures." Šedivý said and added that it is the job of every comrade to make it clearer to people in other countries that Czech Slavia is a stable and free country.
In his wise and educated speech Šedivý also thanked countries that keep their restraint and did not respond to the developments in Czech Slavia.
Public trails with Alexandra Kovářová, Klára Zbouralová, Alois Jelen and Michal Plachta postponed
The Extraordinary People's Court postponed the trials with Alexandra Kovářová, Klára Zbouralová, Alois Jelen and Michal Plachta as these people left Czech Slavia for other countries. Former leader of the CF Alexandra Kovářová went to Spain, former prime minister Michal Plachta went to the United Duchies, and former leader of the CND Klára Zbouralová with the former leader of the SDPCS Alois Jelen went to Leagio.
The court has decided that it cannot rule out justly without the defendants being present and able to defend themselves. This decision has truly showed how dedicated to justice and fairness the members of the Extraordinary People's Court are. Political leadership of Czech Slavia announced that it won't request the extraditions of the suspects, but instead warned the leadership of Spain, United Duchies and Leagio that they those people might be criminals and issued a proclamation to the suspects themselves urging them to come to Czech Slavia to have the possibility of clearing their names before the unbiased, independent and fair Extraordinary People's Court. A citizen that hasn't done anything wrong has of course nothing to fear, the response of the mentioned citizens to this urge will speak on their guilt for itself.
A public trial with a former member of Parliament Miroslava Císařová
A trial with a former member of Parliament Miroslava Císařová was held today. Miroslava Císařová is a member of the CF that has proposed transforming Czech Slavia from a democratic republic to a monarchy. Císařová was accused of treason, attempting to cause an armed conflict with Austria, financing an anti-Czech sentiment in Austria and indecency toward youth.
Císařová admitted to treason and that her actions could have resulted in armed conflict with Austria, as liberating members of Habsbourg family even by force was her intention. She also admitted to financing anti-Czech groups in Austria and the author of the infamous proclamation, which called for Czech prime minister to be brutally murdered, was also financed by her.
She however vocally denied taking part in any indecent behavior, going as far as to say that if her arm was not dislocated, an injury which she, according to her own words, obtained while practicing yoga, she would have to throw her boot at those who suggest that she would ever take part in such actions, and pledged to all present mothers that she truly would never do such an action as she was looking to become a mother with her partner before too. In the past there are well documented examples of ladies from higher society of indulging in indecent activities with the youth, but there was no evidence to support the accusation that Císařová has done so and so she was found innocent of that accusation.
She was however found guilty of treason, attempting to cause an armed conflict with Austria and financing an anti-Czech sentiment in Austria and was sentenced to twenty five years in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry. Císařová showed her true colors soon, but there might be many other looking to undermine our democracy and replace a democratic republic for a monarchy, which goes directly against the freedom of the people. But the party will remain vigilant and on guard, she won't let our democratic institutions be taken from us!

Public trail with the head of the StB Karolína Vicanová
In a shocking development the head of the StB and a candidate seeking nomination of the Party for the presidential election Karolína Vicanová, and a group of her supporters, stood before the Extraordinary People's Court today. She was accused of holding important information from other officials, planning a coup, and abusing her powers as head of the secret police. While some members of former CPCS were already sentenced by a court before, but Vicanová is the highest ranking party member to stood before trial so far.
The defendant initially pledged innocent of all the crimes and later admited to abusing her powers and holding important information form other officials, but the court found her guilty of all the crimes. However it must be noted that through it is now confirmed that the suspects ere beaten by the StB on the orders of Vicanová, the confessions were by no mean forced, denying such ludicrous conspiracy theories must be a necessity of every conscious and upstanding comrade. Vicanová acted out that way simply because of her suspected sadism. Her accomplices were also all found guilty.
Karolína Vicanová was sentenced to ten years in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry. Her accomplices were sentenced to between five to fifteen years in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry. They will all be replaced by trustworthy people approved by the Extraordinary People's Court .Now that traitors in our ranks, and even in high places were discovered we must stay cautious ever more, for we are the guards of our own liberty and liberty is worth fighting for.

Public trial with the members of eco-socialist organizations
It has come to a attention of the Extraordinary People's Court that despicable group of infiltrators infiltrated our victorious movement in a form of eco-socialist activists. They claim that they could not support the direction Czech Slavia was heading with Plachta and that socialist state is more just, yet should limit some of its industries, involving the mining industry. But all the people remember that it was environmentalist groups that were first to stand against the just socialist government and were the first reason before its collapse. Even now these infiltrators stand against the wise policies of the Party and were known to support the villainous Vicanová. Seven members of environmentalist organisations claiming to be socialist were accused of sabotage and though all of them except for one pledged innocent they were all found guilty.
One of the defendants who pledged guilty was sentenced to a year in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry, for his co-operation with the court, the others were sentenced to two and a half year in prison and penal labor in the Rare Earth Metals mining industry. Alarmingly two members of parliaments, who previously pledged their support for Karolína Vicanová were among the defendants.
Speaker of the Parliament Radek Šedivý questions the decision of the Extraordinary People's Court
Speaker of the Parliament Radek Šedivý today suggested that the Extraordinary People's Court has gone too far in its attempts to eradicate the danger of a right-wing coup and punish those responsible for the deaths of Bílý and Voda.
This has come after the Court has sentenced seven environmentalists for sabotage. Šedivý said that he doesn't share the opinions of those people, but he says that there is little evidence showing a subversive activity from them.
"It seems to me that the honorable members of the Court might have accidentally sentenced innocent people this time for their opinions rather than their actions. I understand that we are in complicated times, but I think this action could hurt Czech Slavia in the yes of its own citizens and in our foreign relations." Šedivý has said that he believes that members of the Court had the best of intentions, trying to keep the country safe, but he will try to get in contact with them and convince them to re-open this particular case.
The Speaker however dismissed that the court might have done mistakes in other cases and insist that there was overwhelming evidence that Vicanová was indeed guilty.

Českoslovanská televize
Surprising many, president Reiserová today appointed a fellow actor Karel Šín as the new minister of culture. Šín is not a member of any political party and was critical of the former prime minister Černá. Šín is best know for his role in the Spanish comedy show "Jersey". He was fired from the show after it's eight season due to complications caused by his drug addiction. He has since recovered from the addiction and now he advocates for alcohol and drug abstinence. Šín publicly declared himself a dedicated socialist just a week before being appointed the minister of culture. We bring you an interview our reporter Jílek had with the new minister Šín.Jílek: "Comrade minister, thank you very much for coming here today."
Šín: "Thanks for having me."
Jílek: "I would like to know what persuaded you to enter politics?"
Šín: "I was approached by the great comrade president Reiserová directly with the request to join her cabinet as a minister of culture. I previously had no intentions of entering politics, I didn't ask anybody to be appointed minister, I was asked if I would be willing to be appointed minister. And I thought of the great Czech people and how they supported me for the entirety of my career, for which I am so grateful, and decided that I have to accept this great honor to be named a minister of culture and do my best for the people of this country."
Jílek: "Why have you decided to become a minister in a SRP government? You were previously critical of the government of former prime minister Slavomíra Černá. You accused Černá of not being born in this country, but instead hailing from Ruthund and her policies not being for the Czech people. Do you still maintain this position?"
Šín: "Well listen I know have reason to believe that at least one grandparent of comrade Černá was from Czech Slavia, and it is quite likely that two of them were in fact Czech. It is possible that she was born in this country. But she did hand the power to the former leaders of opposition parties, and they were most definitely of foreign origin. They no longer even live in Czech Slavia. And I am not saying that everything that comrade Černá did was bad, there were undoubtedly many great things, but this shouldn't have happened. And I would also like to clarify that I love the people from Ruthund and from the entire world. Now president Reiserová is, without question, Czech and does what is best for Czech people and that is a government that I want to be part of. But I am not a member of any political party, I am me, Karel Šín."
Jílek: "I understand. What are your plans for the resort of culture comrade minister?"
Šín: "My objective is to bring the art closer to the people. In painting the currently dominant realism is too detached from the people I feel. Normal citizen can't paint in that style, the households are lacking quality paintings, the realistic art style just feels so elitist, you know. That is something I'd like to change. There is a simple yet beautiful art style originating from Czech Slavia, sadly it is so small that it doesn't even have a name. Let me show you an example I painted personally.
Here "The people are welcoming the new minister" it is simple, positive, the characters have little detail, only some basic attributes are shown so everybody can relate to it. You just look at a painting like this and it is obvious to you that it is Czech. I've heard that the Archbishop of Inquista bought some painting in this style and that is something we should strive for. Having Czech glory being shared by our art across the Union. We should aim to have art like this displayed at the furniture expositions in Fremet, have them decorate the communal facilities in the Union of Syndicates as well as imperial halls in the Empire of Inimicus. And let every working person become an artist if they wish so, an art for the people by the people. Czech Slavia should be on a drug called socialist art, very available, if you try it once you want to try it again."
Jílek: "Fascinating, Now comrade minister since you are an actor are similar changes planned for that type of art as well?"
Šín: "Let's not get hasty now. If you want to create a good film or a play or a show you need the actors as well as directors to have a certain type of blood, a tiger blood. Without it our shows would look like "Jersey " past season eight, horrible. This goes to show you how important it is to have tiger blood, it was a great show up to season eight, then the incopentent director fires an actor with tiger blood, tries to replace him with much worse actor and the show becomes unwatchable, those were all my fans, not theirs. So we need to cultivate the tiger blood in our actors, not ignore it, that would result in catastrophe. I've lobbied to create a show similar to "Jersey", but better, in the past. Of course without the decadent influence of the capitalism, without any alcohol or drugs. It would also not treat women like objects. In "Jersey they were always portrayed as objects that the main character has sex with. But in the comedy show I wanted to create women would be portrayed as smart, strong and independent. And then the main character would have sex with all of them. Now this show will get approved by me, so that is my most imminent plan for this type of art."
Jílek: "Thank you for your time, I wish you all the best comrade minister."
Šín: "Thank you, take care. To an absolute victory on the cultural front."
