THE EVENTS OF THE LAST WEEK
---------------------------
Due to the holidays we are presenting the events of the last two
weeks/18.12.-8.1./
New Year's Speech of President Havel
"The president's New Year's speech was a presentation of an tired man
who is troubled by two year's experience in a practical policy.
President recapitulated, he didn't imply or promise anything for the
coming year" wrote journalist Jiri Hanak in his article "A Long Trip of
Vaclav Havel" in LIDOVE NOVINY on January 3. In his opinion the best
part of the President's speech is the column dealing with the
President's proposals for the Parliament including the proposal on a new
election law. Carolina quotes from the President's speech concerning
a school education: "That's why our thanks belongs to the doctors and
teachers who take care {very often under plaintive conditions getting
lamentable payments} of our health and the development of our
spirituality. Today we come to the year where we remember the 400 year
anniversary of Jan Amos Komensky's birth. This year was declared the
year of the culture and education. All of us from the child in
kindergarten to the minister or president, need an education in the
widest and deepest meaning. It is no shame or disgrace to be educated.
Appreciation belongs to all people who are not ashamed of the education
and to all people who provide a good education to others".
Czech Minister of Justice Resigned
"I didn't sign any cooperation with StB {secret police}", said Leon
Richter, the Czech Minister of Justice. Czech press using the headlines
"Being Very Tired I leave" and " Health Reasons and Slanders"- reported
January 8 that minister would resign. L. Richter {member of the Civic
Movement party} stated the health problems as the main reason of his
step-down including as well the bad atmosphere around his personality at
the last weeks when some newspapers wrote he was cooperationg with the
secret police. He passed in his resignation on January 2 and it was
accepted by the Czech National Council on January 8. His position will
be filled by the candidate of Civil Democratic Party according so called
Lany's Agreement.
Civil Movement and Civil Democratic Party were created after the
break-down of Civic Forum.
Will the Controllers Start Striking?
The trade union's organization of the air long-distance controlers
declared a striking emergency starting from the New Year. Controllers
asked for the change of the working programme in the civil aviation
department of the federal transportation ministry. They demand a 162%
increase of their salaries. Despite the negotiations between controllers
and the tranportation's ministry there is no change in the trade
union's decision to start a time-unlimited strike on Monday, January
13. Their decision means that there won't be any flights besides the
emergency and life-rescuing ones. Minister of defence, L. Dobrovsky said
it will not be possible to replace the civil long-distance controllers
with army controlers.
Vice-chairman of the federal government and minister of finances
Vaclav Klaus criticised the action of the controllers as a dangerous
action arousing social stir.
The Budget of CSFR is Passed
We add to the information published previously that the Parliament
finally passed the state budget for the year 1992 on December 22. On the
same day the transformation law {dealing with the privatization in
uniform agricultural cooperatives} was passed.
