KDU-ČSL sjezd ve Vsetíně
"You will have to get suntanned, be noisy and start a fire somewhere downtown," former mayor of the town of Vsetín and MP Jiří Čunek (Christian Democrats) said when asked by a tabloid paper reader if the Czech state plans to support financially all the Czech citizens just like it supports the Roma. Čunek was criticized by the U.S. state administration in their annual report on the country's human rights status. Čunek evicted 360 Roma families from downtown Vsetín and was accused of corruption.
