29/05/2009 / CZECH REPUBLIC
Mr Paroubek is a Social Democrat, but he doesn't behave like one. He
tells people lies and tries to influence them with misinformation; he doesn't
respect anybody. We started expressing our disaccord with Paroubek by quietly
displaying banners and empty egg boxes, and in return we were violently thrown
out of the crowd by CSSD security. It happened to me twice, in Kladno and
Litomerice.
Czech youths protest their leaders with eggs
For politicians in the Czech Republic, the European elections have turned the country into something of a sticky battleground. For the past two weeks the country's leaders have been faced with increasing numbers of attacks by egg-throwers. At first they tried to make a joke of it, but after the assaults became more violent, the politicians were relieved today to see the young activists put down their egg cartons.
In order to coordinate their efforts, the 5,000 activists set up a Facebook group on Tuesday. In four days they had already attracted 45,000 fans. Some of them blame the Social Democrat (CSSD) leader, Jiri Paroubek, for toppling the Czech government in the middle of their EU presidency with a vote of no confidence -- something widely considered selfish and unpatriotic. Others can't forgive him for supporting a violent police assault on techno party CzechTek in 2005 when he was prime minister. And then there are those who refuse to condone his cooperation with the Czech Communist Party, which, until recently, had been unanimously ignored by the Czech political establishment. To sum up, as it is expressed on their Facebook page, they don't like the "lies, anger, nastiness and arrogance of the Social Democrats and, first of all, of Mr Paroubek".
Not enough to incite violence, however. Today the activists put down their eggs for fear of the movement becoming too aggressive. They'll speak their minds in the polls now, they say, leaving the politicians to clean themselves up.

Lukas Botka is one of the first egg throwers.

That's why we decided to start throwing eggs. The first time was in Kolin on the 13th of May. Eggs are an easily accessible weapon -- you can buy them in any grocery store. It was a means to express disagreement without physically harming anyone. The most harm it can cause is to ridicule the victim at hand. That's nothing comparing to what some of the CSSD have done to demonstrators.
The action has many objectives. One is to make political leaders respect voters, and not just in the run-up to elections. Some people say what we're doing is primitive. That's right, it's primitive, but does a common citizen have other means of expressing himself? Mister Paroubek isn't willing to listen to his opponents. If they are students, he tells them to go to a candy store instead or dismisses them as drunkards when they don't wear ties. It's pure insult."

Si no fuera porque la niña es casada, yo la enamoraria para hacerla comprende de que un pito no vale tanto,
respetando las fronteras que me impiden las rasones de que hay otros pantalones yo tratare de explicarle las
diferecias que existen en nuestra actual cuba y la alemania aquella.
El Comunismo es un virus al igual que el H1N1 con superiores capacidades de mutacion y lo mejor es aislarlo
no como trataron de hacer los primeros cubanos que llegaron a convencer a los norteamericanos e inventaron
el embargo, claro esta una nacion que no posee un sistema de salud real, no sabe controlar ni un sencillo
catarro menos un virus que en cuba ha mutado varias veces. En este tipo de virus gripal con posibles
complicaciones no es recomendable asipira, por eso es que en Argentina gran consumidor de este farmaco
vegetal no han podido herradiacar las secuelas del Peronismo.
Aclarada las primeras rasones ahora te voy a explicar el comunismo es igual a la Sifilis es otro virus tambien
fisicamente tratable con la penisilina, el uso y los abuso de este medicamento la ha hecho resistente por eso
no se ha podido herradicar, aunque existen diferecias es muy dificil curar pues es un virus intelectual capas
de mutar y hacerse casi invisible a los analisis superficiales, pero encontramos la pista al igual que hizo la
Bayer con las aspirina y el otro laboratorio con la penisilina. Este virus ya muto y se traslado a la Cultura
y hay que atajarlo a tiempo, pues si se entrona en el sistemas neurologico central, entonce esl virus tendra
componentes de los virus aviar, porcino y el terrible sida.
Sabes porque hay que dividir ahora tu amada isla en dos Estados Independientes, si no lo sabes te explicare en breve
Si Israel, la India,y Pakistan, Serbia y Kosovo y otros existen, es gracias a que en la Junta Medica siempre existio
un Especialista en Virus Ingles, que mucho aportaron para que ahora los alemanes vivan felices.
No hay otra solucion porque si no lo hacemos ponemos en peligro al mundo y yo se que tu no deseas eso.ñ
