The President of the Czech Republic reacted to the scandalous statements of parliamentary speaker Okamura.
According to ТСН: The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, plans to discuss the anti-Ukrainian remarks of the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura, with government representatives.
The President of the Czech Republic announced this on the social network X:
"The statement of the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, the third-ranking constitutional figure, raises concerns not only among our citizens but also abroad, among our allies and partners. I will discuss this issue at the next meeting with the head of the coalition government and at a meeting of constitutional figures".
He emphasized that coordinating the foreign and security policy of the Czech Republic is the foundation of trust in the country as a partner.
It should be noted that the new speaker of the Czech parliament has become known for his anti-Ukrainian remarks. For example, in his New Year's speech, Tomio Okamura expressed himself against supplying weapons to Ukraine, calling the war "absolutely senseless" and the Ukrainian government a "junta".
"I believe that our republic will jump off the Brussels train, which, despite warnings from the U.S. government, is heading towards World War III. Money flows in all directions, and everyone gets something from this business. Western companies and governments, as well as Ukrainian thieves around the 'Zelensky junta', who build toilets out of gold".
"Let them steal, but not from us, and let such a country not be in the European Union".
Moreover, in November, Okamura emphasized his election to office by demonstratively removing the Ukrainian flag from the parliament building, which had hung there as a symbol of support since the Russian invasion in February 2022.
Okamura's words caused outrage not only in Ukraine but also at the European level, particularly due to his remarks about Brussels, which allegedly seeks to unleash World War III. As a result, the speaker may face resignation.
This situation highlights the importance of the Czech Republic's foreign policy and its impact on international relations, especially in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Okamura's statements raise concerns not only among Ukrainian partners but also seriously question the Czech Republic's position within European policy and its relations with allies.
