A total of nine times, President Milos Zeman argued in Sunday’s Road to Castle debate with false statements, another ten were misleading.\u00a0Zeman’s argument was true in eleven cases.\u00a0The Demagog.cz<\/a> site found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

President Milos Zeman presented the Nova TV viewers in the Road to Castle debate before the upcoming second round of the presidential election. Candidate Ji\u0159\u00ed Draho\u0161 refused the invitation due to scheduling issues, so the current head of state talked with moderator Rey Koranteng. According to\u00a0Demagog.cz, he lied, a lot.<\/p>\n

Altogether, Zeman lied nine times, his assertion was misleading ten times, in two cases the truth could not be verified.\u00a0Which leaves eleven cases in which he told the truth.<\/p>\n

False, for example was the claim that the government of Mirek Topolanek ruled in resignation five months.\u00a0This period was only three months long.\u00a0He also said that he stopped supporting the euro after the Greek debt crisis began.\u00a0But even this is not true, it supports him for a long time.\u00a0Last time last June, he claimed that his acceptance was hampered only by the Czechs’ mental barrier.<\/p>\n

Zeman was also mistaken in how much Sweden has a population.\u00a0He does not have seven million, he said, but more than ten.\u00a0He also spoke falsely about an article by a Russian journalist called Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union should be grateful for 1968: The History of Prague Spring.\u00a0Not only did he mention the name of another periodical (or website) rather than the article in which the article was published, but his claim was that the author had been thrown out, that another article celebrating the Prague Spring or that Prime Minister Medvedev had apologized for the article.<\/p>\n

On the\u00a0contrary, his statements were true that, for the time he was head of the CSSD, the party ran out of seven to 32%, or that Rusnok’s government lacked a few votes to gain confidence.\u00a0He also rightly said that he was negotiating L-410 delivery in China, supported a direct election of mayors, mayors and governors, and a referendum law.\u00a0The truth is that none of his closest associates is prosecuted, accused, and tried.<\/p>\n

Among the\u00a0misleading\u00a0statements of Demagog.cz he included, for example, the claim that Zeman, as prime minister, led the Czech Republic in 1999 to NATO.\u00a0The truth is that the decision to join NATO was approved by Parliament a few months before Zeman became prime minister.\u00a0It was also inaccurate that Zeman in Moscow signed a deal to supply 6,000 Zetor tractors for four years.\u00a0The truth is that only a memorandum has been signed, according to which such a trade should take place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
