Czech President - Warrior for Truth - Wins Re-Election

Since this blog is devoted to a search for truth, it's time to celebrate when someone who also fights for truth is re-elected to a significant post on the world stage. Congratulations President Zeman!

UPI -- Current Czech Republic president Miloš Zeman on Saturday won another term, marking the first head of state to return to office in a public vote.

Zeman took 52 percent of the vote against Jiří Drahoš' 48 percent in the election, which included about 5 million votes amounting to about a 66 percent voter turnout.

Other than the industrial city of Ostrava, challenger Drahoš won in most of the main cities while incumbent Zeman drew support from smaller towns and the country.

Zeman's portrayal as being pro-Russian and pro-Chinese was a contrast to his challenger's pro-European Union and NATO positions, which led to the election outcome seen as which way the central European nation will lean - east or west.

In fact, it is possible Zeman is just not falling for the NATO super-hyping of the threat from Russia. NATO's purpose these days is to create as my hysteria as possible and present itself as the only solution to the crisis. I believe Zeman sees right through that and is not going to play that game. 

Neither is he going to play the game of accepting hordes of Muslims into the Czech Republic. Unlike liberal European leaders, he has sense enough to know the result will be cultural suicide. 

Zeman is known for his longstanding support for the US, Israel and the Jews, he was the only European president publicly to support then-candidate Donald Trump before the US presidential election.

During a speech on Saturday, Zeman told his supporters the victory would be his last "and no loss will follow it," referring to the country's constitutional two-term limit.

Drahos congratulated Zeman in a speech to his supporters, saying his ideals will live on and he is "thankful for the enormous wave of energy that has surged with this election."
