10/7/2018: CZECH REPUBLIC – FOR ZEMAN JOURNALISTS ARE LIKE WASPS

Vienna, 10 July 2018

The Vienna South East Europe Media Organisation is worried about the langauge that Czech President is using in describing journalist. President Miloš Zeman has appointed 40 new judges nominated by a former minister of justice, Robert Pelikán. In a ceremony at Prague Castle, the head of state told the judges that while ministers came and went the court system remained. Mr. Zeman also warned the judges against journalists, who he described as wasps.
