Nb he’s still interieio minister, just tipped to be next PM
from prage post:
“As minister, Gross gives Czechs what they want, Sidlo said, holding large-scale crackdowns on traffic violators and brothel owners. The police actions are routinely followed by midnight press conferences where Gross hams it up for the media.
“But behind the scenes he has employed many figures from the pre-1989 era, graduates of the communist police schools.”
fuck, thats worse. The Interior Minister [1] usually is in charge of the civillian police service and the internal security service of an EU nation.
Bear in mind also that there are many authoritarian EU member states as well as liberal ones.
TBH I am rather worried about this new EU lark;
I have been researching it over the years and it seems that the rich countries are actually closing down the routes of funding the new ones were expecting to get (such as farming subsidies), and giving them a trickle of euro-cents provided they “beef up their legal systems and border controls/security systems”.
This creates a perfect climate for cops and spies and chaps like Mr Gross.
[1] In Britain he or she is also called the “Home Secretary”
