The Slovaks recently outraged part of the AZ-Kviz’s competition broadcast by Czech Television. It is a knowledge competition with strategy elements that has been popular thanks to its simple format and a wide range of questions. One of them concerned the Minister of Culture of the Slovak Republic Martina Šimkovičová and the way in which it was laid was surprised by many viewers. The television itself commented on the portal.
She competed in the show Czech actress and singer Emma Smetana (37) with partner Jordan Haj (36). Smetana chose the number 19, under which the letters of the kindergarten were hidden with a really surprising question.
“What is the name of the Slovak Minister of Culture with the initials of kindergarten, which spread misinformation, homophobic views and pro -Russian propaganda on Slovan television before her government engagement?” the presenter asked.
The actress and singer smiled, nodded and then answered vigorously while reading the question. “I think it is fantastic that it continues to do it in office and it is Martina Šimkovičová,” She said with a dose of irony.
Although many Slovaks have a reservation towards Šimkovič, they consider such statements to be absurd. “This is how to describe the Minister in Slovakia in the knowledge competition of another state, This is so embarrassing, embarrassing and sad at the same time that I am really ashamed of her. Of course, Mar-Art-Drza is not even a pinch of it. And half of the Slovaks with her … “thinks the viewer Milos.
Representatives of television spoke about the incident on the ninth meeting of the Council of Czech Television. Council Chairman Karel Novák, Director of Digital Services Division Marek Doležel and director of CT Art Tomáš Motl agreed that Similar questions do not belong to this type of session.
“This question, as it was asked, should not be heard in this show. It is still conceived as a neutral knowledge quiz from the field of culture and entertainment. The editorial team was alerted to the need for the future to consistently maintain the neutral nature of the questions in accordance with the session format, when fully respecting its creative independence“said Deputy CEO and Director of the Corporate Services Division Michal Fila.
