Interior minister condemns response of Czech MP to university shooting

Interior Minister Vít Rakušan has condemned the words of Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) MP Jiří Kobza, who in a statement on Facebook blamed the shooting on the "elite progressive education" of Charles University's Faculty of Arts. He wrote, among other things, that the shooter wasn't an agent of Putin, a supporter of the SPD or a conservative, but a product of this "inclusive progressive education", and the obvious question to ask was what kind of indoctrination programme of hate is actually being taught there.

In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, the interior minister wrote in response that what Mr. Kobza wrote was "outrageous" and called on people not to abuse the tragedy by attacking the very group of people who were the target of last week's violence.
