Our highest commander

Our highest commander.

Jiri Lanka, a chaplain and a chief instructor of a squad of a fast response (URNA).

A police chaplain is a new function at the police force of the Czech Republic. It is not so interconnected with families of policemen and doesn’t have such a tradition as in the Army of the Czech Republic. He says people usually open up in toughest life situations. Even men who live in a notion that they can deal with everything on their own. He has been on a mission in Baghdad, Iraq twice. He uses a term “the supreme commander” for the God. As a simplification for police officers and soldiers.

Břetislav Sobek

My name is Bretislav Sobek. I am curious and don’t understand new things. That is the reason why I ask, I write it down and post it.

I have written hundreds of emails to newspaper’s editorial offices. They have answered me once. They wrote me that if I wanted to write I should study journalism including a link to the right faculty. They said it was supposed to be the right place for me.

Others answered with a suspicion that I was a PR manager of a political party. I just wanted to inform my fellow citizens about what I think was important to them.

I applied for Journalists unions. They didn’t accept me and weren’t able to explain me why. The same went for another ten candidates.

And that’s the reason why I decided to set up my own newspaper and named myself a chief editor.
