  I suppose that everybody who is interested in the political situation in the European countries has heard of the attack on Health Minister David Rath. He has been slaped by Miroslav Macek, member of the opposition party ODS.
  
  It is a shame for the Czech Republic that a political adviser of our President and honorary chairman of ODS uses force to solve a dispute. Miroslav Macek explains that he had personal reasons but he must have known that he would be drawn into a political game.
  
  Macek, with his political activity during the 90´s, is not naive and inexperienced. ODS officially disavow from the punch-up but it said that it was reaction to the offensive statements of Minister Rath.
  
  One thing should be clear. If anybody wants to use violence in an election campaign, he mustn't be an active person in public life. Today it is only one slap and tomorrow it could be something worse. I hope that remains only a pessimistic scenario but the voters should see our politicians with attentive eyes.
