00:00 Introduction. What this podcast will be about. A political-philosophical analysis. The situation, especially in Slovakia, but also in the Czech Republic.
I have already predicted in the past that Prime Minister Heger would not bring blessings to politics, and now it has come true. Heger brings bad energy into politics. The sooner the early elections are, the lower the probability that SMER, SNS, and extremists will form a government – this is a very real threat. The electoral potential of the SNS is quite underestimated. Polling agencies lied about ĽSNS in 2016. Robert Fico has lost himself – in the past he was a normal person, now he is like a madman, sticking out of Putin's ass and bowing to him. From a philosophical point of view, while in Ukraine they are fighting with weapons, the war has also spread to Slovakia – a war for the human mind. A government of SMER and extremists – there is no need to view this pessimistically – it will not be a permanent dictatorship, and it will teach society a lot. The deformation of national parks – never in the history of Slovak politics has it happened that a simple majority of MPs consciously voted for open corruption and theft. I talk about numerous scandals at the Ministry of Environment in other videos. While the current coalition political parties won the elections on anti-corruption rhetoric, they themselves are doing the opposite, and voters will hold it against them. By deforming national parks, political parties have angered a huge voter base – at least 10% of voters – the importance of this voter base should not be underestimated because even 10% will decide whether SMER and extremists will be in government or not. Most people who are concerned with ecology are so extremely disgusted and frustrated by Budaj's ministry that they will vote for the far right, because they have a reasonable program on environmental issues and criticize corruption at the Ministry of Environment.
11:40 We, anti-corruption activists, sent a lot of emails to MPs about the reform of national parks – they can't claim they didn't know what they were voting for. Politicians underestimate the voter base they have angered – it's not an insignificant one percent of people. The current government has literally forced and provoked an additional 10% of people, completely unnecessarily, to vote for anti-system parties. The OĽANO and SaS parties lack regional structures, which is a big mistake, and they don't feel obligated to the regions, which is why the reform of national parks passed. Parties with regional structures like Sme rodina or KDH were against the reform of national parks. A minority of a few dozen people managed to push through their egoistic business interests. The unwillingness to dismiss Ján Budaj unnecessarily increases social tension and divides society. The underestimation of the Hungarian minority as a significant voter base – only the PS party tries to appeal to the Hungarian minority – it should be standard for every political party – no investments in southern Slovakia, that the government would support the construction of some factory by a foreign investor.
26:36 not only in Slovakia but also in the Czech Republic, political culture has radically declined. Prime Minister Fiala very arrogantly justifies his inability to lower energy prices. Interior Minister Rakušan went even further with dictatorial threats. It must be said that high energy prices are indeed a solvable problem – excuses about the EU are not a solution.

Budaj's resignation is primarily for the good of the OĽANO party, which would increase its preferences. I can understand that the OĽANO parliamentary club is against Matovič's dismissal because they are indebted to him – but they are not indebted to Budaj – I cannot understand this madness in politics. Politicians are also very poorly advised by marketing PR agencies.
The media is making a big mistake by censoring scandals and corruption at the Ministry of the Environment – it increases tension in society – the media has literally cultivated extremists and the SMER party in their preferences. We see nihilistic moods in society and in politics. If there were extremists in the government, it should not be perceived only negatively – from a philosophical point of view, it will teach us a lot – society, journalists and politicians will learn from their mistakes and society will emerge stronger.
41:00 In the past, journalists excessively hated the Sme rodina party and fabricated cases, but now they have changed their opinion. About the situation in the Czech Republic. Media obsession with Babiš – even negative publicity is publicity. Sabotage of Zeman by the Chief of the General Staff.
Statement on the Filip Kuffa affair.
Other media errors.
If SMER forms a government with extremists, then let it tear apart the media and the coalition politicians who nurtured them.
