I do not blame what happened. Our president and the entire government of us (common people) is doing just idiots. We always take the money, on the contrary, everything I stress yourself and fulfill your pocket millions. Slowly coming back communism … but in worse form. Just wait when the place defenestration – and I am very happy I’ll look at that show. Most Czechs are sorry that only our government at least touch the glass with methylated spirits. Greetings from Communist Czech Republic ..
