Straight Up: Turek and Other Parliament Benchwarmers. Politics Has a New Career Peak, the Role of Spectator
The collector of positions, Filip Turek, has faced a wave of criticism as it has been revealed that he is very inactive in the Chamber of Deputies, where he moved from the comfortable seat of a Member of the European Parliament. However, it has been shown that he has a considerable group of colleagues who approach the performance of their duties in a similar manner.
In the Chamber, Members of Parliament and the government's representative for the Green Deal, Filip Turek, are reluctant to speak, but he is very active in giving interviews to somewhat unusual media platforms.
Recently, for example, he complained about President Petr Pavel, who refused to appoint him to the position of minister of anything available due to his neo-Nazi views. According to Turek, the President should be dealing with the Green Deal, which he criticized perhaps out of jealousy.
Turek is a more unique president than Petr Pavel
Not only is Pavel a real president and Turek "just" the honorary president of the party Motorists for Themselves, now he also wants to steal his Green Deal, which, together with Macinka, they abolished in the Czech Republic. He has no reason to be sad; while there are currently 154 presidents leading countries, Turek is the only honorary president of a political party in the world who is not even a member, the first and only known one.
The world is looking towards decarbonization not only because it is "in," but primarily because it pays off in terms of the negative externalities of energy obtained from burning fossil fuels. It's not just progressive Europe that has its Green Deal; all powers, including China, where diesel engines are, for example, banned and which has the most installed solar panels in the world by a considerable margin, are involved.
While these issues are being addressed as objective facts around the world, in Filip Turek's world, it's a game played by envoys and presidents of a small country, whose talk European politics will certainly not follow. However, time will be found for this in an interview with a former member of the extremist National Party (dissolved by the Supreme Administrative Court in 2013).
Let's acknowledge, however, that Representative Turek is a cultured person who doesn't spout such nonsense on the floor of the Chamber, but in bizarre podcasts, especially when he occasionally gets "muddled up with pills."
Herd of parliamentary representatives with an alpha bull
A respectful silence reigns on the floor of the esteemed Chamber, with over 40 representatives participating. An interesting survey was conducted by the internet platform SeznamZprávy, which highlighted the representatives who have either never spoken in the Chamber or only did so once. Twenty-four ANO representatives have a zero count. Two from Motorists and one representative from SPD, and no opposition representative, although STAN has two and ODS has one with only one appearance.
Among them is the well-known Jaroslav Faltýnek, who has admitted in the past to attending the Chamber of Deputies only as a "spectator." While in the theater, one must pay for a ticket to watch, the forty-member herd of breeding deputies is nicely fattened with allowances as they do so.
Of course, there is nothing left but to agree with the dominant opinion of those discussing under the article with the mentioned analysis: "It's good that they remain silent."
At least in the case of the waterfall of nonsense flowing from the mouth of the leading bull in the breeding parliamentary herd, who attempts to tackle the Green Deal without objectively knowing what it's about, the position in the role of a spectator is entirely logical, as it's clear that a specific amendment defended before the Chamber would be a sure path to defeat.
