Quotes by Jacques Rupnik (?)

“Mnichov se stal v Evropě i mimo ni symbolem toho, jak zranitelné liberální demokracie jsou, pokud podlehnou iluzi, že mohou zachránit samy sebe a své hodnoty, aniž by se postavily rozpínavosti totalitní mocnosti na svém zápraží. Mnichov byl pro Evropu okamžikem vymezení: obětovala své principy a závazky, aby zachovala „mír v naší době“ („peace in our time“), jak to chápali appeaseři. Podstoupila potupu, aby nedošlo k válce, avšak nakonec utržila „potupu i válku“ („dishonour and war“), jak trefně pravil Churchill ve svém projevu v Dolní sněmovně.”

“A právě nacionalismus je třetí důvod populistického skluzu české politiky. Důraz na etnicky pojatou národní pospolitost souvisí s ochromením pluralismu ve společnosti. Václav Havel tento trend pojmenoval dříve, než se vzedmula vlna nacionál-populismu: „Po takových příhodách se pak objevuje zákonitě volání po další hegemonizaci společnosti: zbavíme se Židů, pak Němců, pak buržoazie, pak disidentů, pak Slováků - a kdo bude na řadě příště? Romové? Homosexuálové? Cizinci vůbec? A kdo tu zbude? Čistokrevní Čecháčkové se svým dvorečkem. Nejde jen o to, že takové postoje nebo dokonce taková politika jsou nemravné, jde i o to, že jsou sebevražedné.”

“Munich has become a symbol, in Europe and beyond, of how vulnerable liberal democracies are if they succumb to the illusion that they can save themselves and their values without confronting the expansionism of a totalitarian power at their doorstep. Munich was a defining moment for Europe: it sacrificed its principles and commitments to preserve "peace in our time", as the appeasers understood it. It has suffered dishonour to avoid war, but in the end it has suffered "dishonour and war", as Churchill aptly said in his speech in the House of Commons.”
