The Dilettante’s Problem
To have as president of the biggest political party a dilettante is the systematic problem of the whole opposition.

Especially if the problem relates to a resort where experience, expertise and professionalism mean more than party membership. So the unsuspecting Slávek made a turgid move (like formerly prime minister Paroubek in 2005, commenting CzechTek - greatest european open air technoparty in this year, in Czech Republic, breaked up with czech police).

Only the reporters from news server Aktuálně.cz allow themselves to be briefed by frustrated secret services agents over a beer at the pub. But there are things in the field of national security that one simply keeps quiet about. For a long time and doggedly. But that is something dilettantes (including the Aktuálně reporters) do not seem to be aware of. |
