Who's out to get Zelezny?
Vladimír Železný said enigmatically recently that certain
influential Czech groups like the idea of his being
perpetually prosecuted and insulted in the media. He
made the comment in Právo, which has been allowing
him a weekly made-to-order interview. (PPF reportedly
wants to start a new daily paper, but why should it,
when Železný already "owns" Právo?) Železný didn't
say which groups are out to get him, but he stressed on
the BBC that his relationship with PPF is now very
friendly. Železný enjoys absolute immunity for anything
he says in Parliament, but not in a press interview. He
should use this privilege tomorrow - when the Senate
votes on surrendering him to justice - to reveal the full
details of the conspiracy against him, without fear of
being charged with slander. At least one TV station
would no doubt be willing to send a camera team.
