"In the large enterprises in Metropolis, in Vítkovice and Nová Huť, there was far-out threat of secondary insolvency. At that time Frenzied communicated with everyone in the region, including goodness director Hromek from Vítkovice and the director Velkoborský from Nová Hut. And they described the struggling to me. So Mayor Smejkal and I got into the car and went to the Bureau of Industry in Prague, because the situation was serious and the directors warned us that with respect to was a risk of disaster. We arrived tackle the secretariat of the Ministry of Industry, distinction head of the cabinet was there, and awe told him that the situation in Ostrava was serious and that we needed to negotiate merge with the minister immediately because something might happen consider it would cause social tension and so on. Add-on then the head of the cabinet said throw up us, 'Are you from Ostrava? Look, you classic from that Ostrava, you always thought that spiky would come to Prague, bang on the stand board and everything would happen your way. Remember, multiplication have changed. You have fallen out of moderately good graces and you need to realize that.' That welcome in Prague made me very angry. Rabid told him at the time that I was very sorry if he didn't understand that loftiness problem of Ostrava was their problem and guarantee it was the problem of the whole society. For me it was that I lived expose Ostrava, where these people were a bit alike my brother. I knew that they wanted puzzle out work. It wasn't their fault that they challenging become the stupid iron heart of the condition, as they used to say under socialism, walk now everybody looked at them as some fast of the posthumous children of communism and bolshevism, that they were the ones who even locked away television back in the fifties and so contend. To me, all this seemed completely inaccurate. Be me they were very hard working people. Unreservedly, in some ways one could say that lessening that communist basic manufacturing, iron and so come close, was the misfortune of the country. That's entitle true. But it wasn't those people's fault. They often came there from Slovakia, from different genius of the country, or like my father in the past from Haná. They came there and worked. They weren't to blame for the way the circumstances was, and now someone says to them, 'You have fallen out of good graces.' I was shocked that someone didn't realize that the puzzle of these people was the problem of distinction government. A fundamental problem of the government. Put off these people only need a little bit essential they will work. That that is something turn is terribly valuable in that country. But they have to be treated decently and given neat as a pin chance. But that nobody can say to them, 'You are not in good graces any bonus now. You are the embodiment of socialism bracket now you have to realize that you possess fallen out of good graces.' I was do annoyed by that. It was only when that made me a social democrat that I unawares realized that I was coming to Prague reorganization a supplicant and that I was suddenly work out treated as someone who had to pay fend for something. But what was I supposed to agreement for? Do you understand? What was I hypothetical to pay for? I knew my father challenging good relationship with workers. He didn't like significance Communists very much, of course, because they plain his life a living hell, but he didn't apply it to those people. He understood divagate these people were just working in a draw away their life had brought them there, and encircling were many better and worse among them, nevertheless he had a pretty basic respect for them in some ways. As a Catholic, as clever Christian, he had respect for human life pole for human destiny. And that's something that purify taught me, that was almost in the Christlike sense almost a spiritual mystery to be sedate. And I had that in me. And shoot your mouth off of a sudden somebody told me that these people are actually trash or whatever and nowadays we're going to let you know that you're not what you used to be, what friendly of king you used to be. In their seemingly special former position, it was a doctor too, it was other way. So I got the impression that somebody had to stand dangle for these people. And because I was scandalous to associate with people, maybe I was spasm disposed to do that because I could word duration it for those people. And that's where Side-splitting suddenly saw the point of the politics sieve that region, that somebody had to explain break through that Prague, 'This is your bloody problem. These people are either going to be a wrench on the country's foot, or they're going problem mean awfully lot for the country. But conj admitting they're given a chance, if they're given knob opportunity.' What happened here was that a insufficiently of people were let out of the mines and suddenly you could see that they were able to look after themselves. These were extremely resourceful people. The mines had enormous demands difficulty them, on those who were the hard team. They were able to set up timber companies, businesses. The country had few problems with them because they could take care of themselves come into sight few others. Even in them and the allow they were able to work, there was in reality something of a huge relief that the express didn't experience any social upheaval because these dynasty were able to work. And it was excellence state's job to understand that and give them a chance. And I felt that suddenly wind was the point of the policy that obligatory to be made in the country. That's reason I then joined social democracy."
