Joining the anti-Trump insurrection
Who says that ČSSD and ANO can't work closely together in this heated pre-election atmosphere? They might not see eye to eye on OKD, Czech TV, highway tolls, police reorganization, non-profit hospitals, migration, the new hybrid-threat center, the Dalai Lama or mysterious income from the past, but they are practically of a single mind when it comes to throwing more money at defense or giving military spies greater authority to monitor the internet. Foreign Min. Lubomír Zaorálek of ČSSD did Defense Min. Martin Stropnický of ANO a solid by coming out this week with claims of a Russian hack attack. The question is whether it was just a routine matter of manipulation of public opinion to pass a bill, or whether it is something more serious. By linking the alleged incident in the CR to the hack of the U.S. Democratic Party emails, Zaorálek was also joining the global anti-Trump insurrection. Was this intentional, and if so, who put Zaorálek up to it?
