Quand Mirek Topolanek dérape sur les Juifs et les homosexuels
MIREK TOPOLANEK le clame à qui veut l’entendre : ses propos ont été déformés. Depuis que l’ancien Premier ministre tchèque s’est lâché en proférant des remarques antisémites et homophobes lors d’une interview, tout Prague bruit de la polémique déclenchée par le chef de file du parti démocrate civique (ODS, conservateur), en course pour les legislative elections of 28 and 29 May.
The facts date back to Saturday, March 20. Topolanek was interviewed informally by the editor of gay magazine "HIM" who, during a photo session, asked what he thought of homosexuals and the transitional government, headed by the economist Jan Fischer. The conversation took an unexpected turn. Q hen the going gets tough, really tough, Gustav Slamečka [Transport Minister] deflates said Topolanek. As Fischer is a Jew, he is not gay, but it deflates even faster. It has nothing to do with being gay is more related to personality . Then he attacked the Church, accusing it of "exercise control over the population by doing the brainwashing."
The video of the interview, posted on the same day, triggered a barrage against Mirek Topolanek. It was nice to have recognized " expressed lightly , send an sms pitiful excuses for Fischer Slamečka, le mal était fait. Réuni en catastrophe, le comité directeur de l’ODS, à l’issue d’une séance animé de douze heures, a fini par renouveler sa confiance à l’ancien chef de gouvernement à la tête de la campagne électorale. Jan Fischer, quant à lui, s’est offusqué de propos « offensants, stupides et trompeurs », avant d’annoncer qu’il réduirait désormais ses contacts avec leur auteur au strict minimum nécessaire. Le parti social-démocrate (CSSD) s’est empressé d’appeler Mirek Topolanek à se retirer de la vie publique. Son leader, Jiri Paroubek, ravi de l’opportunité, expressed concern about the impact this case would have on the image of the Czech Republic in the world, admitting to have already noticed a strange "fascination with fascism " in Topolanek.
only solace in the storm Gustav Slamečka himself, then the Federation of Czech Jewish communities came to the rescue of Topolanek. "These words unfortunate, said the representative of the latter , Tomas Kraus. He talks a lot but this is by no means an anti-Semite .
remains to measure the impact this incident in the opinion. The polls confirm a sharp drop of the ODS, whose popularity rose from 27.8 to 20.7% between January and February. The CSSD him jumped from 32 to 34.5% of voting intentions. Remounted but was savaged by the polls Czech Conservative leader promised to turn his tongue in her mouth seven times before speaking. Still two months to keep!
