The mushroom has not been in Prague for three years, Zeman has been harming the republic for a quarter of a century. Resign?

Zdeněk Hřib does not have the best communication skills, in addition, he has an amazing gift to pinpoint the intentions that Prague residents are consuming. Smetana’s embankment without cars, where you can download overpriced coffee and a tram two centimeters from the table. The “Prague Chairs” initiative, which aims to revive public spaces through desperately uncomfortable chairs and shaky tables. In addition, the municipality, with its unmistakable instinct, places these mostly ugly places, concrete plaques, where there is nowhere to hide from the hearth or rain.
All the age-old sores of Prague life are connected with this: The practically negative pace of construction of important projects, primarily the Prague ring road and the new metro line. In addition, the usual summer tricks of road workers have swung over the end of the holidays, and so the metropolis is even more dug up and congested than usual.
Erect the president!
The president from the Castle (or perhaps a powerful telescope from Lány) saw all this, nodded and sharply rebuked Zdeněk Hřib in an open letter. In the end, he called on the mayor to resign. Why the head of state is doing it right now is obvious. His Praguers never understood him and he is not in love either. In recent years, Zeman has not shown any public events in the capital, at most he is sometimes erected at safe distances and behind the wall of bodyguards. It is not about the well-being of the inhabitants of Prague at all.
By shelling the pirate mayor, the president helps Babiš, who is leading the main election battle with the Pirates. Conversely, it cannot be used to resign from the head of state to take lightly. According to Zeman, the mushroom should consider resigning because it does not serve the interests of the citizens it represents. So the people of Prague. But how did Zeman himself serve the interests of citizens, which of the contributions he represents even higher now and in the past? Didn’t he also resign, even a long time ago?
Missed opportunities
What if he met several times in 1995 in Bamberg with any Vízek and his friends and wanted to trade their dirt for political competition in exchange for hundreds of millions in a party coffers and a place in the government? Did he miss the opportunity to leave? What about the year 2000, when it came to light that Zeman’s immediate surroundings were preparing a disgusting, esteematic smell of hanopis on his then-sock in popular approval, Petra Buzková? And what about the fact that Zeman’s most intimate foul, Šlouf, was in close contact with the leaders of organized crime, specifically the boss František Mrázek? Wasn’t it time to leave? And what now, when the obvious exponents of the Russian and Chinese intelligence-power apparatuses revolve around the Castle and Zeman is visibly listening to them? Is it a good service to the citizens, or is it more about immediate resignation (and praying that everything will be forgotten as soon as possible)?
Zeman is a politician who has missed many opportunities: first to leave with honor, later to at least evaporate quickly. He didn’t use them. He will leave as a man famous for pulling behind the representatives of the sunshades, who, at best, greased their pockets richly, at worst they worked directly against the interests of the countries and their citizens. Zeman voluntarily and knowingly provided cover. After three years, Zdeněk Hřib is a not very skilful politician and not a very good mayor of the capital. Miloš Zeman and his surroundings have been systematically damaging the entire republic for twenty-five years. Which of them should resign?
