VIDEO: Czech Premier Topolanek Hits Photographer

A few months before presiding over the EU, Topolanek is faced with a political crisis in the country. Very nervous, he hit a photographer.

Mirek Topolanek’s own party wants to remove him from power, on the party and national level, and this is why he had to cancel his meeting with the US president, who he was to speak to concerning the American anti-rocket shield on the territory of the Czech Republic.

With all of those troubles on his mind, during a walk with his newly born son in Prague, Topolanek was irritated by tabloid photographers that wanted to capture a few shots of the premier walking. Topolanek then decided to hit a photographer who became too irritating, report the world media.

Topolanek’s civic democrats are very angry for the party’s poor results at the local elections, and are determined to remove their president from his position.

All of this is occurring only a few months before presiding over the European Union, which has been scheduled for January, after six French months.
