A-Infos (en) Czech, Ostravska, OAF: Moments are lying, as if Reflex is printing (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

We bring a brief reflection on the political strategy of Million Moments 
for Democracy. ---- On August 27, the Million Moments for Democracy 
association published an interesting post on its FB profile. It 
literally states: "There are several politicians who would be pleased if 
you did not come to vote in October. But we must not be discouraged!" 
Below the text are photos of several chairmen and chairwomen of 
opposition political parties with their alleged quotes. For example, 
Filip Turek allegedly said that "elections are overrated. You are better 
off engaging in ideological collecting."

This surprised us. Why would the Motorists, of whom Turek is the 
election leader, question the vote when every vote is desperately needed 
to reach the five percent threshold for entering the Chamber of 
Deputies? Why would Andrej Babish, who otherwise strongly encourages 
voting, suddenly recommend a "trip to some nice resort" instead of the 
elections? In many photo collages, the call to boycott the elections 
looked more like a paraphrase. But still. That opposition politicians 
would suddenly become anarchists? Moreover, the electorate of Stacilo!, 
SPD, Motoristu and ANO is recruited more from disappointed and 
frustrated voters who often resign from politics altogether. Why would 
the leaders of these parties betray voters from the elections? So we 
took the trouble to try to find out in what context the aforementioned 
politicians meant it.

First, we approached the association Million Moments for Democracy 
itself to provide us with the source of their quotes or paraphrases, but 
we did not get an answer there. So we tried to search on the Internet or 
with the help of artificial intelligence, but we were not very 
successful there either. A call for non-participation in the election 
from the political opposition, that would be a great topic for current 
pro-government journalists, we thought. How is it possible that there is 
not even a comma about it anywhere?

The reason is simple - the Milion Chvilek association is simply 
disinforming. In a holy war, the goal of which is (again and again) to 
"prevent communists from coming to power", all means are apparently 
permitted, including lying. Let's imagine that Andrej Babish created a 
photo collage of Zelensky saluting in a brown uniform with a call for 
the denazification of Ukraine. Excuses that this is exaggeration, satire 
or paraphrase would not help him and Babish would be subjected to a 
heavy media lynching. How is it possible that Chvilkare gets away with 
spreading disinformation without any problems? A photo of Katerina 
Konecná with a National Front ticket evoking a one-party government may 
be a funny meme, but by presenting false information, the movement will 
be doing a disservice to Fialov's government.

In the end, the winners of the elections will once again be anarchists, 
who will laugh at how the leaders of political parties are arguing about 
who is more moral, but in reality, they are all liars.
