About a month ago, I have read an article on the internet. It was on the Czech news website and the article was about the prime minister of the Czech republic, using the government aircraft for the personal flight to Innsbruck in Austria for his skiing holidays. The Czech republic is my home country, and this only shows more politics arrogance towards the people already disgust with situation on Czech politic scene. And it really pissed me off as I have no faith in this Government anymore.
According to the news, the prime minister was on the way back to Prague from the official visit of Bulgaria, when he landed in Austria where he stayed for the weekend, skiing in Sölden, near Innsbruck. He was asked to explain the whole situation on one of the parliament meetings few days after by his fellow politics that also advised him to pay for this personal trip.
The explanation from the prime minister to the whole situation was the most ridiculous I have ever heard. What a bad lie… The reason for the landing in Innsbruck, as he said, was very important meeting with the Czech ambassador in Austria. That wouldn’t be strange at all, if the ambassador’s office was not in Vienna, almost 480 kilometres away from Innsbruck (Prague only 270 kilometers). And here comes the funny part. According to the news, the ambassador drove from Vienna to Innsbruck to meet the Czech prime minister and than, just after that meeting he drove to Prague.
Isn’t that strange??? Why they didn’t meet in Prague where they both were heading in the first place? Simple. Someone just needed a camouflage for the skiing holidays in Innsbruck…
