Speech of Erazim Kohak at the Demonstration 5.4.2009
29.4.2009 - Erazim Kohak
Let me correct the introduction firstly. I have not been living in America for a long time; I have been living in the Czech Republic for a long time. And I do not want to live anywhere else.
I have been in the USA for a certain time, long enough to learn the language spoken there by majority of people at least, and I know that the gentleman we want to address does not understand Czech. So let me say three sentences in the language he understands:
"Mr. Obama, the American voters did not elect You to continue Bush's policies. They elected You for change. You will not secure the security of America by placing bases over the world, You are only making enemies. Europe wants to be Your friend and supporter. Do not provoke us by putting Your bases here."

And I am letting him know this on behalf of us all.
Thank you, bye.
