In 2018, you participated in the Friends of Together for Europe<\/em> meeting in Prague. Shortly afterwards you entered politics. Is there a relationship between these two facts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Sure! And it is a very important relationship for me. If one wants to live politics with the ideal of service, one needs to get to know other politicians who have the same goal. The possibility of creating a \u2018positive network\u2019 with others also during the meeting in Prague helped me a lot at the beginning of my political life. And it still helps me.<\/p>\n\n What motivated you to get involved in politics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Seeing and understanding how much effort it takes. Politics is a specific field, which touches the life of each one of us. And it is crucial that only those men and women who want to put themselves at the service of others enter politics. Otherwise, one leaves room for those who seek only power. I try to invite other friends into politics, especially young ones.<\/p>\n\n How do you deal with disappointments if working \u2018together\u2019 is not successful and certain opinions\/views seem irreconcilable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Politics is in need of good ideals! If these are missing, it only becomes a \u2018technocracy\u2019, and later an \u2018autocracy\u2019 of someone, who instead of \u2018together\u2019 puts \u2018I by myself\u2019. Not everyone is seeking \u2018togetherness\u2019. However, we are called upon to do our best, because we believe that this \u2018togetherness\u2019 is exactly what our world needs. We strive to do well our part and leave the rest in the hands of the Lord.<\/p>\n\n You were a candidate in the European elections. You were only a few votes away from being elected. Had you been elected, what would you have committed yourself to in the first place?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n For four years I have been the Vice-President of our regional government. The region is called \u2018Southern Bohemia\u2019 I am mainly involved in agriculture and ecology; if I had been elected to the European Parliament, I would have been a member of these committees (AGRI and ENVI). The election campaign was a wonderful time in my life. In our list, the top six were elected: I was in seventh place. But I am sure that the Lord knows why. So, I look forward to seeing where he invites me next time.<\/p>\n\n The democratic values seem to be overshadowed. How could Together for Europe<\/em> contribute to politics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The biggest challenge, in my opinion, is that few engage in politics. I know cities where nobody wants to be mayor. If no democratic politician will do it, an extremist will come along and take this space for himself. This may also happen in our parliaments. The most important thing is to invite new men and women to engage in politics, ready to \u2018put their hands in the pie\u2019 and serve others through politics. Helping people understand this responsibility is something that Together for Europe <\/em> could contribute to my generation.<\/p>\n\n Diego Goller<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Franti\u0161ek Tal\u00ed\u0159 is a young politician from the Czech Republic.
