Prague, Aug 22 (CTK) – The Czech Finance Ministry will represent the state in the court dispute over President Milos Zeman’s statements about the late journalist Ferdinand Peroutka, the Prague 1 District court spokesperson has told CTK, while Czech Television said Zeman is an enjoined party to the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new judge will deal with the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his speech on the end of the Holocaust anniversary on January 27, 2015, Zeman said that Peroutka (1895-1978), a significant Czechoslovak journalist, headlined his article in his Pritomost magazine “Hitler is a Gentleman” in the 1930s.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He also ascribed the statement “If we cannot sing with angels, we have to howl with wolves” to Peroutka, though it eventually turned out that its author is Jan Stransky.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peroutka’s granddaughter Terezie Kaslova filed a lawsuit against the state, of which the Presidential Office (KPR) is a representative.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She demanded an apology for Zeman’s statements about Peroutka.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The courts recognised her right to an apology for Zeman having presented Peroutka as the author of a “Hitler is a Gentleman” article.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the other hand, the court said the KPR does not have to apologise for Zeman’s mistake concerning Stransky’s statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Supreme Court (NS) later returned the case to the lower court for reappraisal.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The NS said a wrong law was applied to the case. It was not the KPR but another institution that was to represent the state in the dispute.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The KPR has never succeeded in finding the Zeman-mentioned article in Pritomnost, the magazine of which Peroutka was editor-in-chief in the inter-war period.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Historians say no such article exists.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
