With such intellectual potential and ideological influence, it is not known how unijó will fare in the new world order. Yes, but. To know.

A representative of the Czech SPD party uploaded a photo on social media showing the letters Z made of paprika on his Easter sandwiches. Because of his actions, he not only faced the law, but the sandwich photo also left its mark on his professional life, Újszó wrote.

Bronislav Kalvoda, who is the president of the SPD in Liberec, defended himself by saying that he put the letters Z on the sandwiches not because he wanted to spread Russian propaganda, but because his girlfriend's name is Zuzana. The police finally closed the investigation against the politician, citing that the man they interviewed said that he "does not support the Russian invasion of Ukraine" and that "the letters Z represent the first name Zuzana".

Kalvoda himself refused to comment on the case, but he already deleted the post containing the photo in question, which caused him to get into trouble in his professional life, as the management of the city of Jilemnice did not consider his post acceptable. The city council thus removed him from the position of chairman of the traffic and public order committee.

"If you look at Mr. Kalvoda's Facebook page, you will probably understand that this was no accident, however you explain it, it seemed to us incompatible with the current times. Based on this, we decided to do what is in our power," said the mayor.

The Germans are not left behind in the fight against the letter Z either

In recent days, the German police and public prosecutor's office have launched investigations in more than 140 cases due to the "symbolic use" of the letter Z. The charge is supporting the Russian attack on Ukraine. Since the Russian army in Ukraine marks various vehicles and armored vehicles with a Z, the use of this symbol is punishable, according to law enforcement agencies, Neokohn wrote.

Thus, in the last few days, 19 proceedings were initiated in the East German state of Saxony-Anhalt, 17 in Hamburg and 22 in North Rhine-Westphalia due to the allegedly illegal use of the letter Z. The Herford municipality is at the forefront of pursuing Zt. The use of Z on license plates was immediately banned there. "Anyone who supports the Russian offensive campaign and Russian President Putin by using the Z symbol will face criminal consequences in Lower Saxony," said Social Democrat Interior Minister Boris Pistorius. The Bavarian Minister of Justice (CSU) completely agreed with him:

"We will not tolerate the public approval of crimes against international law"

he told the dpa news agency.

Paragraph 140 of the German Penal Code is used to support the charge, which stipulates the following: Whoever rewards illegal actions or "publicly approves them in a way that endangers public peace" is "sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years or a fine".

The fact that the legal basis of the proceedings against AZ is at least questionable is obvious even to the layman.

So far, there is no legislation that would precisely define the Russian attack in Germany as a crime. As for the meaning of the Z seen on Russian vehicles, there are only speculations, nobody here really knows what it is for.

When it comes to prohibition, the Z symbol is in interesting company. Among other things, the use of KZ (concentration camp), SS, SA, AH (Adolf Hitler) and quite a few less obvious letter combinations is prohibited on German license plates.

If this ban is extended to the Z in the future, the city of Zwickau in Saxony, whose license plate number is Z, will be in big trouble, but vigilant law enforcement agencies will surely have an idea to avoid the problem.

For the sake of interest, let's also mention which symbols

They do NOT fall under the ban: among others, the red star, the hammer and sickle, Lenin and Stalin, which can be seen dozens of times on flags, banners and T-shirts during the violent demonstrations of the left-wing radical antifa.

When an insignificant neo-Leninist group in Gelsenkirchen erected a statue of Lenin in a central square, the local government protested citing "aesthetic reasons", but has waived criminal proceedings to this day.

The Romanians also had trouble with the penultimate letter of the ABC

The police went to a dormitory in Iași after a passer-by alerted the authorities that someone had attached a pro-war symbol depicting the letter Z seen on Russian combat vehicles to the window of one of the rooms, read the local portal ziaruldeiasi.ro .

This is how the towel in the dormitory window was painted:

The whistleblower was concerned because several people fleeing Ukraine were staying in the student dormitory, and he feared that it was an anti-refugee operation. But really, there was just a weird misunderstanding.

At the scene, the Romanian police determined that the student did not want to spread Russian propaganda, but managed to hang out a towel depicting a horse and a stable to dry in such a way that it had an ambiguous message.

Here's the big catch:

Here we are. However, this will probably not be the case.
