ČSSD sees itself as one of the saviors of Europe and defenders of its values. Which European value was ČSSD defending, though, when it convinced the Supreme Court to ignore a binding judgment ordering it to pay Kč 338m to lawyer Zdeněk Altner? How did ČSSD convince a court to rule in the Škoda Transportation-Czech Railways case that arbitration clauses supersede the judicial system even when criminal intent might be involved? Where is it written in the European values book that offering a low price is unacceptable, as the SŽDC rail-line company found when it gave a higher-priced deal to a ČSSD-friendly builder? Will David Rath, our Person of the Year, become a spokesman for European values after convincing Prague Superior Court to disallow wiretaps that caught him red-handed? ČSSD spin doctor Miloš Růžička is "afraid" floods of people will now suffer Rath's fate and be exonerated. He shouldn't worry, unless the people are linked to ČSSD.
