Final Word from Thursday, August 4, 2005
The CR doesn't have any global terrorists (so far), so Premier Jiří Paroubek is creating his own out of the techno dancers who gathered over the weekend. Of course he's not directly calling them terrorists, but he wrote in LN that they're led by a hard core of obsessed people with anarchic tendencies and international connections and were "terrorizing" the local residents with their noise, filth and other vexations. Interior Minister František Bublan, Paroubek's chief anti-terrorist enforcer, told the BBC that the dancers who defied police orders to leave the techno party came looking for a conflict. He also sidestepped the question of whether the intelligence services had been called into action against them. Paroubek is displaying initial symptoms of Aznar Syndrome. He should keep in mind that after Jose Maria Aznar tried to use the Madrid terrorist bombings for political gain, he was swiftly escorted out of office by enraged voters.[Czech Republic Spain Lidové noviny music terrorism]
