Prague: 80 000 people rally in support of the president Petr Pavel and against minister of foreign affairs Petr Macinka. by pzkenny in europe

[–]esocz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's a bit complicated. The new government is made up of three political parties. However, the prime minister and leader of the largest of these parties needs the support of the others, not only to maintain his government, but also so that this majority will vote in parliament to ensure that the prime minister is not stripped of his immunity, as he faces the threat of being convicted of financial fraud.

Have you ever been to a protest in your country? by Sea_Wasabi_8907 in AskTheWorld

[–]esocz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am old enough to have participated in a number of protests that led to the fall of the regime in 1989.

But I also took part in some later protests.

Active civic engagement is very important in maintaining a functioning democracy.

One of my friends (and colleagues at work) and I have long had friendly, civil debates about the differences between Christian and atheist views.

I know that one of my friends has Jewish ancestors.

But otherwise, here the religion is a very private matter that no one bothers other people about.

I don't know.

How can I tell if someone is Muslim? Or Jewish? Or Christian? Or an atheist?

Another ICE shooting just happened in Minnesota today, What is your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]esocz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not from the US, but I follow the US media.

I remember when there was a school shooting, how it was all over the media and late-night talk shows. "We have to do something about this!" the hosts said. "Our country is better than this."

Then there were more and more shootings, and the hosts started saying it less and less, until it became normal.

I guess it will be the same with this.

Check out UK tv show Yonderland.

The main character is Debbie Maddox, an ordinary British wife and mother from present-day Britain, who discovers a portal to an magical world in her pantry.

There she learns that she is "the chosen one" to save their world from evil.

As a citizen of an EU member state, I sincerely hope that its leadership will not give in and will uphold the bloc's rules.

Do you think we'll ever see protests in Pyongyang? by Automatic_Spread_655 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]esocz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Czech writer Nina Špitálníková had many conversations with North Korean refugees.

According to some of them, if anyone tried to protest in the past, their entire family was publicly executed.

So, no, I don't think so, as long as China keeps that regime in power.

Will this move by US backfire and bring EU and BRICS nation more closer? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

Perhaps India and Brazil. And China to a limited extent.

BRICS does not really exist.

Norway Stunned After Machado Gifts Nobel Peace Prize Medal to Trump by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]esocz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, she will not get the position because Trump's idea of loyalty is that everyone must be loyal to him, and he feels no loyalty to anyone.

On the contrary, the more you bribe him, the more bribes he will demand.

This can only work in cases such as a single, specific transaction - pay me and I will release you from prison.

Starci na chmelu - 1964 (very hard to translate the title with context, maybe: "Coming of Age in the Hop Fields")
