Eliška Balzerová wrote a letter to the president: Don’t spoil the atmosphere with your anger

Balzer was one of the participants in the gala evening when she presented Ivan Trojan with the Best Actor Award for his role in The Charlatan. “I was also present at the gala dinner between – in your words – a snobbish woman,” Balzer admitted.

“We, in your eyes clowns and clowns, have always had the task of setting up a mirror for the powerful. I’ll do it today. It is said that she outraged you and made a photo of smoking colleagues and colleagues without veils make an indiscriminate statement. So for the record: it was a place outside the building designed for that purpose. And hand on heart – how many times have you smoked in completely inappropriate places and brought a ‘ashtray’ whenever and wherever you liked, even to the displeasure of others, “the actress reminded.

Comparison of two actions

Balzerová also objected to the comparison of the presentation of the Czech Lions with the presentation of decorations at the castle on 28 October. She stated that the Czech Lion is certainly not a more important event. At the same time, however, it was said that “Czech film does far more fame and reputation in the world than some government officials.”

The president’s spokesman Jiří Ovčáček responded to the actress’s letter on Facebook on Saturday afternoon, according to whom the current situation requires many self-denials.

“And in such a situation, no matter what, a film festival takes place, the Czech Lion award ceremony. Yes, state awards could not be presented to personalities who sacrificed the life of their homeland. Statuettes for film roles, yes, “he emphasized.
