Generál Pavel v rozhovorech s Jolanou Voldánovou – Voldánová Jolana (2022)

A raw and honest conversation between Jolana Voldánová and General Petr Pavel. The experienced moderator does not shy away from any topics – childhood, social opinions, membership in the Communist Party, experiences from NATO, or the reasons why General Petr Pavel decided to run for the presidency. "... it may seem as naive or hopeless as it gets, but I just want to try to change a bad mood into a good one. And I believe it’s possible and that it can be greatly helped by the fact that it first needs to be uncorked at the top. Because when people see what is happening in this country and in politics right now, they must be really disgusted. If a large part of the people looks at it like I do, when they see what politicians sometimes display, how many of them get away with it, how they often laugh in our faces for something that all the rest of us would be punished for, then of course it cannot inspire great optimism. But if it changes and people at least start to feel that the rules apply to everyone and that there is a chance to come up with a good idea without being immediately punished for it, and then such an idea gets the green light, then things will start to move forward a bit. And I think then the bad mood that we unfortunately have here again today could slowly begin to change."
