“I do not agree with the event, the activities of this organization do not correspond to the interests of Czech foreign policy, and if it were up to me, it would never have taken place on the grounds of the Czech national building.
“This is an event realized on the basis of a commercial lease of the premises of the building by the expatriate organization Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association (BBLA) as lessor.
“The Consulate General was not informed in advance of the conclusion of this lease agreement between BBLA and Moms for Liberty.” – Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský speaking to a Czech media outlet.
A member of the progressive Czech Pirate Party (yes, really), in 2022 Lipavský served as president of the Council of the European Union. That rotating post is currently held by Belgian Foreign Minster Hadja Lahbib.
NEW YORK – The Czech National Building leased a meeting space to Moms for Liberty, an Southern Poverty Law Center listed extremist organization, for an event on January 18, which has drawn opposition from the Czech Foreign Minister.https://t.co/QlvVCYqN8B
