Czech president criticizes European Union at GSB - by Andrew Alexander

In a soft-spoken but forceful speech Wednesday afternoon at the Graduate School of Business (GSB), Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus warned that the European Union (E.U.) was bringing “less freedom, less democracy, less sovereignty, and more government interference” to Europe.

The E.U. is “accelerating a drive towards a social democratic––I would say a more social––European superstate,” said Klaus, whose talk was part of the GSB’s Distinguished Speaker Series.
