Police are investigating who organized text messages sent to people in the Czech Republic and signed by presidential candidate Petr Pavel.
In the Czech Republic, fake SMS messages are distributed to the population on behalf of the presidential candidate, General of the Army in reserve, Petr Pavel, urging them to go to the nearest army unit and receive weapons for mobilization in Ukraine. On Wednesday, January 18, iDNES reported in relation to the police.
“Good afternoon, this is General Pavel. This is a message thanking you for your vote in the presidential election campaign. I will ask you to go to the nearest part of the Czech Armed Forces, where you will be provided with the necessary weapons for mobilization in Ukraine,” said the message, sent from an unidentified person. numbers.
The text of the SMS does not use diacritics, which can be one of the signs of a fake, according to the police.
The Czech police reported that they registered the relevant production.
“We don’t have any additional information yet. We need to contact everyone who received the message, and we will act based on it. For now, this is the only appeal,” said the deputy head of the Czech police, Jakub Vinchalek .
General Pavel himself was not surprised that someone sent people via SMS “a lie that (another presidential candidate Andrey) Babish posted on his billboards.”
“This is the world of Babish, behind which the pro-Russian and conspiratorial forces are lined up. This is the world that I do not like – and in contrast to it I offer decency, dignity and respect for the rules,” he commented on Twitter.
Vůbec mě nepřevkvapuje, že lež, žeže si Babiš dal na billboardy, žištění sneko rozesílá lidem prés SMS a maili. Toto je svět Babiše, za nímž se seřadily proruské a konspiráční síly. Je to svět, krzej nechci – a proti nómej služnost, důstojnost a respekt k pravidlům. pic.twitter.com/QniUbKfmP7

It should be noted that after the first round of presidential elections in the Czech Republic, Babiš launched a billboard campaign, in which he promised “not to drag the Czech Republic into war,” because he was not a soldier. This refers to Pavel’s former position in NATO – without any clear connection to the war in Ukraine.
The second round of presidential elections in the Czech Republic included two candidates who were considered favorites from the beginning of the election race: retired general Petr Pavel and former prime minister, leader of the largest opposition party ANO Andrej Babish.
Diacritics in linguistics are called special characters, which are superscripts, subscripts, more often intralinear graphic additions to the main written characters that reflect the sounds of the language. Diacritics are widely used in languages that use the Latin alphabet.
Recall that in October 2021, a political crisis arose in the Czech Republic. Zeman has been in intensive care for a long time and the Senate proposed to remove him from power.
The President of the Czech Republic explained that he will force the Russian Federation to leave Ukraine
