Vladimír Dlouhý and the Real Thing
Vladimir Dlouhy has boosted his bid to become the third pro-Russian Czech head of state after saying that 'Czech Coke tastes different'. The US ambassador in a terse statement said: "We have confidence in Mr Babis' commitment to the real thing.'
‘Czech Coke tastes different to other Coca-Colas’, according to the president of the Czech Chamber of Commerce, Vladimir Dlouhy. And Russian Coke? How does that taste?
It is hard to take Vladimir Dlouhy seriously. His ubiquitous campaign of self-promotion is so absurd that one can only wonder at the terrible wrongdoing he is hoping to atone for by this voluntary self-abasement before the Czech electorate. Perhaps it is his past membership in the Communist Party, or his outstanding contribution to the collapse of ODS’s party rival ODA in a funding scandal in 1998?
Who can say for sure why Mr Dlouhy is compelled to humiliate himself so? And yet each new day brings fresh proof of his ability to make a complete ass of himself. Speaking at a gathering of retailers yesterday morning, he observed that Czech Coca-Cola tastes different to American Coca-Cola -or was it German? By the afternoon, he was on the radio championing the rights of Czech citizens to buy Czech Coke on Czech Sundays.
But his silliest moment in a day full of very silly moments came at 17.09 precisely. Expounding at length upon the uselessness of EU and US economic sanctions against Russia, he was asked by the Radiozurnal interviewer if it was true that he is paid by Rolls-Royce, Rosatom’s partner in the MIR1200 nuclear reactor consortium, to lobby against sanctions. “I am an international adviser to Rolls-Royce and Goldman Sachs”, he responded. “Yes, but is it true what Mr Candole suggests, that you are lobbying the Czech government to oppose further sanctions on behalf of Rosatom’s partner Rolls-Royce?”, asked the interviewer. “Mr Candole lies”, he replied and fell silent.
For the full interview, in which Vladimir Dlouhy lobbies against Russian sanctions and then dismisses as a lie the suggestion that he lobbies against Russian sanctions, see here.
