Defence Minister defends her use of "morons" in a statement on X

Czech Defence Minister Jana Černochová defended her use of the term "morons" in a mid-September statement on the social network X, arguing that it is not a vulgarity but a strong expression describing someone acting unreasonably or foolishly. Her remarks came in response to a written query from ANO MP Martin Kolovratník, who criticized the language as "offensive and unworthy of a minister," accusing her of dehumanizing citizens with differing opinions.

Černochová's comment, "Please tell the idiots who still have not come to terms with our aid to Ukraine that we have enough helicopters," was made in response to a military announcement on X regarding the deployment of helicopters during the severe floods in the Moravian-Silesian and Olomouc regions.
