Vaclav Havel has died at 75 years
Vaclav Havel is dead
The former Czech President Vaclav Havel, the former is dead playwrights and hero of the anti-communist movement, died on Sunday with 75 years in his cottage in northern Bohemia. An obituary.
What was the most absurd things in his presidency, Vaclav Havel was once asked. The answer: That he was so long president, and then one of two states: first Czechoslovakia and then, from 1993, of the Czech Republic.
"Havel na Hrad!" - "Havel to the castle," she cried in November 1989, Prague, on Wenceslas Square. The writer with the little mustache, at the beginning of 1989 even in communist prison, he should be president now. "Truth and love must triumph over lies and hatred," Havel said to the cheering protesters. Only a few weeks later Havel was president. A quiet, modest man, the world suddenly became a symbol for the democratic beginning of his country.
"My only school was life"
"I've only been two months, President," he said during a speech in Congress, "and went through no president school. My only school was life." This life had made him so far not easy. Because of its bourgeois origin, he was allowed to study it at first. He was a laborer at the theater, wrote his first plays and became a dissident in 1968, when Warsaw Pact troops invaded Prague in 1977 as a founder of the 77th democracy movement Charter
An irony of history: Havel himself was in July 1991 in Prague, the end of the Warsaw pact was sealed. His finest hour as president, he told himself, "This moment, when I was at the last summit of the Warsaw Pact in Prague. I said that the pact has outlived itself. This moment actually ended the bipolar sharp dividing the world into spheres of interest. "
Havel condemned the expulsion of the Sudeten early
Havel was also a man of reconciliation. It was he who first condemned the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans. "That was not a punishment, but revenge. In addition, we have not thrown out due to a proven guilt of individuals, but only as members of a particular people. And so, on the assumption that we pave the historical justice the way, we have many innocent people, especially women and children suffering inflicted. "
From Czechoslovak to Czech President
But Havel's presidency also knew bitter hours: "We have enough of Havel," shouted the summer of 1992, Slovak nationalists and pelted him with raw eggs. A little later, Havel stepped down as Czechoslovakia's president. "My fellow has. Today at noon Chancellor Karel Schwarzenberg sent to the Federal Assembly of my letter in which I communicate that I am on 20 July 1992 by 18 clock of my office as President of Czechoslovakia resign. I wish you happiness, health and firm hope in the future. goodbye. " Havel then passed out of his office.
Czechoslovakia was divided in 1993 became the first President Havel of the Czech Republic - and stayed there for ten years - in spite of serious illnesses. A critical, uncomfortable president, a moralist, who led his country to the west, the west, but criticized them simultaneously. "The global civilization, which now envelops the whole world that forces them to the same products to the same habits, the same behavioral patterns and forms of communication - all this brings us indeed closer together, provoked but also a backlash in the form of growing nationalism , fundamentalism or fanaticism - ethnically, religiously, socially or ideologically, "Havel was convinced.
A life without politics - impossible?
Early 2003, Havel's final term ended. A retired but he still does not know. He stood up for human rights, where they should be enforced - or at least where some thought they had to enforce them, in Iraq, for example. Irritating, especially in western Europe, where the image of "good people of Prague" by was shaken.
But Havel was also able to discover, he wrote a book about his presidency, and - the big dream of the playwright - even once a play. "Odcházeni" - "The finish" it said, and was listed in 2008 with great success. A piece about an ex-politician who is crazy without the politics. No, Vaclav Havel said in his final months and over again: I did not autobiographical.

Some of us follow clearly defined ideologies, others not. But we are all worried and angry about the political, economic and social perspectives.
Daily suffering without any hope. Famine, poverty, war and exploitation, and much more are the consequences of our system and make us helpless and speechless.
And this situation has now become the norm. But when we get together we can change that. It is time to change things. Time to build together a better society.

tried the metal fences around the park Zuccotti, a former camp for the
night of the movement to carry away.
Expulsion from Zuccotti Park outraged protesters
The mood between the police and the supporters of "Occupy Wall Street"
had been heated up this week when the protesters were driven in a

The police seem to keep a straight face. He pulls out his pepper
spray, presented again to the present photographers and aims then
calmly before him at the students sitting on the ground. Occupy their
passive demonstration for Wall Street was up to date movement. A
request to abandon their camp, they had resisted, however, beaten in
police warnings of the wind. That the state authority but in fact such
acts, so that probably had not expected.
Eleven students have to go after the attack in medical treatment. Two
young people even end up in hospital. Ten protesters were arrested.
Methods used in Hochsicherheitstrackten American prisons to
incapacitate criminals severely, have now apparently moving into the
fight peaceful protests found. By the way, alone, to persuade the
protesters to get up.
Linda Katehi is located on the side of supporters Occupy

she called a "scary". There, it is said in her message on the website
of the university, throwing a lot of questions about it, would be how
to deal with such situations best.
Nevertheless, calls for his resignation were raised against them.
According to the Davis Faculty Association Katehi have hampered the
investigation of the spray-attack. That they had agreed to the police
operation, was an absolute failure of her person. It is now still on
the side of the Occupy supporters and called the actions as "sad and
totally inappropriate". Now is when it comes to the will of the
Rector, a task force investigating the matter. To a resignation, one
might then announced it at a press conference last Saturday, they do
not think so. "I do not think I have violated the guidelines of the
institution," said Katehi. "I have personally worked very hard to make
this campus a safe campus for all."
From the police, the procedure is evaluated quite differently,
however. From the sources said, that this act is a standard procedure
of officials. In the U.S., pepper spray can be used any time by police
officers against persons. And also, in order to force them to get up -
without taking the risk of being injured themselves.
Rigorous approach of the police to take
Police action against this kind Occupy Wall Street demonstrators took
place already in the U.S. in Portland or Seattle. Victims were not
only young people. The officials did not hesitate about a 84-year-old
elderly woman to spray directly into face. In New York was then of the
solidarity among the officials concluded. A retired friend who had
joined the protesters, was arrested.
