At the occasion of birthdays, especially jubilee ones, it is good manners to wish all the best. I would like to wish to the Czech Republic, so to all of us, to realize a couple of things.
We have something to be proud of. We really should celebrate. Since the beginning we have been a successful industrial country. The first republic brand Made in Czechoslovakia has been famous till today. A hundred years ago, we were the only democratic state among its neighbours. In the cultural sphere, we have influenced Europe at many levels, whether in the fields of music, architecture or literature. Pride in the heritage of the past shall lead us to self-confidence, which leads to patriotism. Patriotism, if we do not allow it to degenerate into blind nationalism and rudeness, will make us strong and comprehensible partners to the rest of Europe.

Pavel Svoboda: Let's support both the persecuted Christians and us
Numbers of persecuted Christians in the world are clear. Even according to the most moderate non-governmental organization Open Doors, 215 million Christians in the world are persecuted. Four out of five people persecuted for religion reasons are Christians. According to this organisation, demonstrably about 3,000 Christians per year are murdered, other sources estimate the real number at almost 100,000 murders per year. Therefore, it is by far the largest genocide in the world, but Europe - considering itself to be a bastion of human rights - is hypocritically silent. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó has accepted my invitation to a conference on the persecution of Christians, among other things, to present a government program "Hungary helps" for supporting Christians. We state that in the face of Islamic expansion to Europe, we want to preserve the European way of life and we want to address the migration problem at the source. If we really mean it, then we can best do it via the help to the persecuted Christians in the countries where the migration tracks start.
