Hana, I was watching this on the news last night and did some reading about it afterwards. I'm a bit of a history junkie, so I always find it fascinating to see how these things play out in light of the history of Eastern Europe. Wasn't Zeman a former Communist?

 

[Hanazana1]

Yes, Laura, he was communist for 2 years...People just forget...
I´m very very sad with my friends who voted mister Schwarzenberg.
I still can´t believe but it´s true, Zeman is our new president

Quote:
"Mr Zeman is seen as a hard-drinking, chain-smoking politician, known for his witty put-downs of opponents."

I am ashamed...

Oh, Hana, I am sorry. I know it is frustrating when your country chooses someone you would rather not see as your leader.
