C A R O L I N A No 266, Friday, November 21, 1997.
FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (November 12 - 19)
November 17 - Eight Years Later
The flames of hundreds of candles and continuously gathering groups
of commemorators kept the November 17, 1989 memorial plaque company to
mark the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the Velvet Revolution on
National Avenue (Narodni trida) in Prague. Among the dozens of flowers
lay a bouquet dedicated by President Vaclav Havel, who wished students
"bravery as an aware and considered courage."
The political elite, including Prime Minister and Civic Democratic
Party Chairman Vaclav Klaus and Chamber of Deputies and Social Democrat
Chairman Milos Zeman came to honor the memory of the violently
suppressed student demonstration. Klaus and Zeman, speaking
successively, for one of few times agreed on the feelings of unrealized
expectations overwhelming the people. Christian Democrat Chairman Josef
Lux and Civic Democratic Alliance Chairman Michael Zantovsky said they
are not disappointed about post-November developments, though they admit
mistakes have happened and it is necessary to remedy them.
Senate Chairman Petr Pithart, Prague Mayor Jan Koukal and ministers
Ivan Pilip and Jan Strasky also participated in the eighth anniversary
celebration.
Despite the evidently irritable mood of the sobering citizens, many
cultural and social activities held this day did not leave any space for
doubt that Czechs still feel sentimental about their November 1989 and
are more than willing to celebrate it with pleasure.

Charles University Celebrates 650 Years
A select crowd met November 17 at Charles University's Carolinum in
Prague to inaugurate celebrations for the university's 650th
anniversary. Events, like international symposia, will continue into
April 1999.
Education Minister Jiri Grusa and Charles University Rector Karel
Maly spoke at the proceedings. They held a moment of silence for the
Sudanese student recently murdered in a racially motivated crime, spoke
of the importance of events in 1939 and 1989 and touched on the problems
in Czech schools, stating that furnishings, equipment and teaching tools
are not up to standard. Grusa promised to improve Czech schooling
through the proposed University Act.
Maly and Vice Rector Miloslav Petrusek spent the end of the day with
the university's leading students.

Students Talk with Education Minister
A meeting of students from Charles University's College of
Humanities with Education Minister Jiri Grusa was held in honor of
Students' Day November 17.
The students met the minister in the school's largest lecture hall,
which was filled to capacity. During a very lively discussion the
students complained about the lack of libraries, difficulties in
gathering information, unsuitable technical equipment and the lack of
space in lecture halls, frequently arguing through comparisons with
universities abroad. They also discussed the authority of the Academic
Senate, academic titles, study abroad and grants.
The minister admitted he was surprised that the main point of the
discussion was not tuition - the issue did not come up. "I am not
planning an attack on students' wallets. The size of the fees in public
schools should be socially acceptable. Our intention is not to
discourage students but to motivate them," said Grusa. He also added he
would be glad if the new University Act were passed by September 1998.

Majority of Poll Respondents Dissatisfied with Domestic Political Scene
Eighty-eight per cent of Czech poll respondents are dissatisfied
with the domestic economy, just a shade more than the 87 per cent
unhappy with domestic politics. In the same survey published November
17, the Institute for Public Opinion Research also reported that 75 per
cent of respondents are not happy with developments in the standard of
living, social security (69 per cent), the transformation to a market
economy (63 per cent). However, 57 per cent were satisfied with cultural
development and 53 per cent were pleased with foreign policy. Approval
of domestic policy has fallen 37 per cent in comparison to last year.
Seventy-eight per cent of respondents are skeptical about
developments in social security and the standard of living. Forty-six
per cent of those surveyed were positive about developments in foreign
policy and 43 per cent responded favorably to the development of the
process of democracy in society.

More Demonstrations against Racism
People demonstrated against racism throughout the country last week,
protesting the murder of Hassan Elamin Abdelradi, a Sudanese university
student killed by two skinheads November 8. Several dozen people,
particularly Abdelradi's classmates from the University of Economics,
attended his funeral November 14. Of the politicians who spoke at the
November 10 demonstration (see Carolina 265), only Sudanese ambassador
in Vienna Ahmed Abdal Halim attended the service.
Initiated by Slovak activist Fedor Gal, roughly 2,000 young people
met at Prague's Old Town Square November 15. Although the it was to be
a quiet memorial service, the meeting was gradually taken over by
radical groups like anarchists, Social Solidarity and the Humanist
Movement. The meeting moved to Wenceslas Square, where a part of the
group tried to attack a group of skinheads who were on their way home
from Kolesovice.
Under the guise of a semi-private party, skinhead bands were to play
afterwards in a local pub. in the past, loyalty to the fascist movement
had been publicly declared on many occasions, and such manifestations
were generally allowed to go on unobstructed. This time, however, in an
attempt to crack down on the movement, the police denied the skinheads
entrance to Kolesovice and they were sent from the Rakovnice train depot
back to Prague. Some of the organizers of the Kolesovice gathering
protested.
Attorneys Oldrich Chodera and Josef Lzicar were quoted in the Czech
press November 7 as saying the preventive steps taken were not entirely
legal.
Other demonstrations were held in Brno, Ceske Budejovice and Most.
About 15,000 people took part in the Brno demonstration November 13. In
Most, a group of skinheads tried to stop the demonstration until police
intervened.

Havel Released from Hospital
President Vaclav Havel was scheduled to leave the hospital November
18, after more than a two-week stay for pneumonia. While recovering at
home, he will be preparing a speech to give the members of both chambers
of Parliament December 9 in Prague's Rudolfinum. Then he should leave
for a recovery stay in the mountains or near the sea. On New Year's Eve
he will make his traditional television speech, and will run for
re-election at the end of January.
Doctors say Havel will continue to have problems with his lungs, as
the result of long-term smoking and his stay in prison during Communism.
The doctors' advice is clear - Havel should slow his pace of work.
Miroslav Cerbak, chief of Havel's team of doctors, told daily MF DNES,
"We are not afraid we won't be able to handle the next pneumonia.
However, in the future the problems will occur more frequently, and each
time the lungs will be more affected. Even antibiotics cannot cure
everything, and they are not without blame."

Social Democrats Would Win Election Today
The results of an Institute for Public Opinion Research poll,
published November 13, showed 29 per cent of respondents would now vote
for the Social Democrats, while 20 per cent would vote for the ruling
Civic Democratic Party, which has maintained one-fifth of the
population's voting preference since July. The strongest opposition
party recorded 28 per cent support in July and has since remained at
about 26 per cent. Third place belongs to the Christian Democrats with
11 per cent, next are the Communists and the Civic Democratic Alliance
with 5 per cent and then the neo-Fascist Republicans, with 4.5 per cent.

Zantovsky Will Not Run Again for ODA Chairmanship
Chairman Michael Zantovsky of the smallest government coalition
party, the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA), announced he does not want
to hold any party office in the future. He made the announcement at
ODA's southern Moravia regional conference November 14 (the same day,
daily Lidove noviny published an interview with Zantovsky where he
acknowledged the possibility of running again for office). His statement
came less than a week after Environment Minister and party Vice Chairman
Jiri Skalicky declared his intention to apply for the post of party
chairman.
Zantovsky justified his withdrawal, about which he procrastinated
till the last moment, in an interview for the November 15 edition of
Lidove noviny by saying he was unable to ensure conditions for asserting
the Alliance's goals. Zantovsky said he is also "ready to believe" that
Skalicky can ensure these conditions.
Skalicky called Zantovsky's step as "a broad-minded gesture". At
the same time, he called on the right fraction, operating within the ODA
and presenting liberal political attitudes, to conclude its activities.
ODA members altogether support Skalicky to be put up as a candidate.
However, the right fraction's chairman, Parliament deputy Ivan Masek,
said he would welcome one more candidate. Recent information suggests
the southern Bohemia ODA recommends Justice Minister Vlasta Parkanova to
become ODA chairwoman. However, she refused the candidacy because she is
fully occupied with her government duties.

Deputies Start To Save
Parliament's Chamber of Deputies November 13 cancelled, by 171
votes of 174, this year's bonuses for deputies, senators, government
members, judges, the National Control Office president and the Security
Information Service director. The chamber did not support the
Communists' proposal not to take away judges' bonuses. The bonus would
have been in the amount of the officials' regular salary, and would have
been their 14th salary of the year.
However, the public has paid much more attention to Social Democrat
Parliament Club Chairman Stanislav Gross' proposal to stop the unlimited
reimbursement of fuel purchases for official cars of the chamber, its
committees, and clubs' chief officials. In connection with this
proposal, Budget Committee Chairman Jozef Wagner released the number of
kilometers run up in service cars, including average consumption. For
1996, neo-Fascist Republicans' Chairman Miroslav Sladek won, with
148,700 km and an average consumption of 17.9 litres if gasoline per
100 km. According to the automobile factory Skoda's official statement,
the consumption of the Felicia model, which Sladek drives, cannot under
normal conditions perform so miserably. Ivan Masek (Civic Democratic
Alliance) expressed his belief that Sladek also fills other cars with
the free gas. The proposal to stop unlimited reimbursement received the
support of all present deputies, including the 14 Republican deputies.

Czech Information Society (CTI) Closes
One of the two national newsgathering agencies, the Czech
Information Society (Ceska informacni spolecnost), which distributed its
wire service under the trademark CTI came to an end November 14. CTI
stopped distributing all its services to customers.
Management made the decision to close, and President Martin Steiner
said he considers the reasons for the decision to be the poor financial
situation caused by low profits from the distribution of the press
service, late payments from clients and chilly relationships with some
key customers. The Czech News Agency (Ceska tiskova kancelar, CTK) is
the only national newsgathering agency working on the Czech media
market.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Robert Dole Visits Prague
Former Republican senator Robert Dole visited Prague on November
17 during a private tour through countries desiring to join NATO. Dole
met with ailing Czech President Vaclav Havel in the hospital to talk
about the relations between the Czech Republic and NATO. Afterwards he
discussed the same issue with Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus, Defense
Minister Miloslav Vyborny and also with recently appointed Foreign
Minister Jaroslav Sedivy. As for the radiolocator Tamara affair which
was instigated recently by the American newspaper the Washington Times
(see Carolina 265), Dole said he trusted absolutely the Czech government
representatives who had assured him that no such transaction with Iraq
existed. He said, however, that similar mysteries in connection with
NATO candidates may appear again in American media.
Dole, known as a supporter of rapid NATO expansion, assured Czechs
of his continuing support of their membership. He emphasized, however,
the importance of the whole of society's visible interest in the
Alliance as an obvious signal for American senators before their March
vote on NATO expansion. Nevertheless, Dole said he was almost sure of at
least 90-per-cent support in the Senate.

Travel Agencies Cancel Trips to Egypt
After foreign tourists were attacked in Luxor, Egypt, the Fischer
travel agency cancelled November 17 all trips to Egypt. Also, the Czech
Republic's biggest travel agency, Cedok, cancelled all its trips to
Egypt until the end of the year. Cedok does not have any clients in
Egypt. The Teris 2002 travel agency cancelled its New Year's trip to
Egypt.
Exim Tours, which is still arranging trips to Egypt, has clients in
Hurghad. The agency is watching the situation, but agency management has
not stated whether they are going to cancel trips to Egypt.
The Czech Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned citizens
that travelling to Egypt is dangerous. According to Vratislav Janda,
Czech consul in Cairo, there are from 70 to 100 Czech tourists in Egypt.

Dover's Extremists Demonstrate Against Czech Romanies
"Gypsies go home. There's no place here for you," and other similar
slogans were heard during a demonstration November 18 by the National
Front's extremists in Dover, England. The event was not the only to
demonstrate hatred for Czech Romanies seeking exile in Great Britain.
Czech Romanies arrived in Great Britain by the hundreds in October in
search of political asylum.
James White, an Evangelical preacher and spokesman for Romanies in
London, said to the Czech Press Agency that about 60 Romanies left from
Dover to London November 19 because they were scared. Not only did some
Dover shops denied service to Romanies, but also people on the streets
spat on them. Romanies arriving in London were sent back to Dover the
same day.
On November 18 members of the League against Nazism demonstrated
against the National Front's extremists with slogans like "Nazi garbage
go away." The police managed to keep peace between the groups.
According to the Czech Press Agency, even though members of the
League against Nazism felt the police were with the fascists, Dover
Governor Paul Sheldrake condemned the National Front's demonstration. He
said, "Racists are not welcome in our town. It's ironic that people from
other places gather here in order to disturb the peace. We won't allow
a group of racists to tell us what we should do."

FROM SLOVAKIA
November 17 in Slovakia
One day before the celebrations of November 17 started in Slovakia,
an early-evening Sunday on Bratislava's Liberty Square saw a not very
massive mass meeting. The participants, mostly students, declared their
disappointment not only with the small number of participants but also
with the situation in education.
November 17 lured more people into the streets, with mass meetings
in every larger city; on Bratislava's SNP Square at least 15,000
participants got together. This Monday was a true reminder of November
17, 1989. On the platform appeared significant people from culture and
politics like Ladislav Chudik, Milan Lasica, Milan Markovic, Emilia
Vasaryova, Milan Knazko, Jan Budaj. Not only memories of the event that
occured eight years ago connected them, but also the determination to
fight for democracy and order in the country. Therefore, the
commemorative act transformed into a demonstration against the
government coalition and in favor of Slovak membership in European
organizations and NATO.

Slavia Cafe Opens to Public
After five years of battles the Slavia Cafe - the mecca of
Prague's artists and intellectuals - reopened November 17. Ivan Medek,
chief of staff for President Vaclav Havel, then in hospital, read
Havel's message about "a small victory of reason over idiocy". The
reconstruction lasted nine months and cost 130 million crowns. The
neighbouring Parnas restaurant and bar were renovated as well. In the
basement, which used to house a boiler, a students' club was opened.
The opening party was attended by about 400 celebrities. Among the
invited were: Minister of Education Jiri Grusa, film director Vera
Chytilova, actors Vlasta Chramostova and Jiri Krampol and Prague Mayor
Jan Koukal. Writer and poet Jiri Kolar said that he wanted to move into
the cafe. Another writer - journalist, dissident and former culture
minister Pavel Tigrid - declared himself a regular with a 50-year break.
You could find Slavia from 1881 in the Lazansky Palace on the
Smetana Quay just opposite the National Theater. The owner of the cafe
- the Academy of Fine Arts - rented Slavia for 50 years to the Boston
company HN Gorin in 1992. The cafe was closed and dilapidated. Havel
then claimed the situation was a "criminal offense against the city's
spiritual life" and challenged HN Gorin to open Slavia quickly (see
Carolina 9). In 1995 the contract between Academy and the American firm
was ruled void and a new contract between the academy and Parnas company
was signed (see Carolina 180). After half a year the Czech company
Centrotex joined the project and reconstruction started in January. The
cafe now looks as it did in the 1930's. According to Jiri and Jana
Spacek, who were in charge of the late Art-Deco interiors, some of the
parts are authentic (wall coatings and tables of green marble) and some
are new (chairs, booths and lighting). The picture Absinthe Drinker by
Victor Oliva is back in its place on the front wall of the cafe.

Jara Cimrman Theater Unveils 13th Play, The Plum
Prague's Theater of Jara Cimrman, which has been entertaining its
spectators with a nearly unchanging cast of performers for 30 years,
presented November 14 its 13th play, The Plum (Svestka). It deals with
a group of elderly men who meet to strip a plum tree at the Stredoplky
railway station. The massively failing memories of the characters
provide for an entirely different plot. Zdenek Sverak, one of the
authors (the other author, Ladislav Smoljak, is also the play's
director), brilliantly creates the character of Hajek, a retired train
conductor who posseses not only a huge hole in his memory but also
a passion for shaking the hands.
Jara Cimrman Theater celebrated its 30th birthday October 4 (see
Carolina 260) and has staged 12 productions by the trio of Smoljak,
Sverak and Cimrman. It has to be mentioned that none of the titles have
been withdrawn from the repertoire and the theater has tallied 7,865
performances to date. The most successful play is probably The Pub in
the Clearing (Hospoda Na mytince), with 869 performances.

Film Cinderellas - the Prague Indies Festival
The final entrants in the six-day marathon of the first Prague
Indies international independent film festival, directors Charles Lane
(USA), Agnes Agneskirchner (Germany) and Eric Rohmer (France), reached
the tape November 18.
The festival was organized as the first one of its kind, in support
of independent film projects in Central and Eastern Europe. It gave
a chance to the creators of low-budget, non-commercial films and
documents from around the world. The Czech Republic had to be
represented by Oscar-winner Jan Sverak's The Ride (Jizda), however the
chance to make their debut was given to a number of young Czech
directors. The action also offered a series of seminars and meetings
with the filmmakers and was very favorably received by festivalgoers.
According to festival Director Jana Kralikova, a competition and a tour
of the films through other Czech cities should be part of next year's
festival.

Serious Injury Reopens Debate about Dangers of Hockey
A match in hockey's second league between Chomutov and Pisek was
interrupted by a serious injury to Pisek captain Petr Keller. After
contact with an opponent near the boards, Keller lay in a pool of blood
on the ice. Thanks to immediate aid, the player's swallowed tongue was
released and his breath revived. Keller was taken to Chomutov Hospital,
where he later awoke from a coma. Doctors said his spine and spinal cord
were undamaged. Keller said he felt better the next day, and he accepted
a visitor.
Hockey functionaries and fans began arguing again about how
dangerous hockey is. Most said hockey is not an extremely dangerous
sport, but they do not oppose calls for tightening up the rules
penalizing rough fouls.
Jaroslav Otevrel was the last Czech player seriously injured during
a hockey match. After an accident in 1996 he was partially paralyzed . In
1990 Ludek Cajka from Zlin died after colliding with the boards in
Kosice Stadium. Both players suffered spinal injuries .

WEATHER
After the deadline of the previous Carolina, the weather was
enjoying expressing its hatred for ladies' hairdos for several days.
Seriously, whereas November 13-14 not even the stiffest coiffures could
resist the wind's intensive attempts to reshaping them into birds'
nests, the weekend rains mercilessly plastered all hairstyles, thanks to
some sort of strange physical magic even those under umbrellas.
Rainfall in some parts of Moravia brought back fears of a possible
repeat of flooding, and the eastern and northeastern cold wind did not
relieve them at all. It was not that bad, though - not even the eastern
stream was strong enough to knock night temperatures down more than
a couple degrees below 0 degrees Celsius/32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Regardless of some regional snowfalls, daily temperatures bravely
defended their position at the point of freezing - finally a little bit
of what we call fall.
