Copy The Czechs and Chilean chivalry. resnsxtlietnl fn0e mnb.brtw We are aware of an unfortunate step taken by the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which breaks with the forms -ni of chivalry, activity and loyalty to friends - which are always characteristic of our country's foreign policy. medevasd o We refer to the rudeness of which the Czechoslovak confederate in Sentiago, His Excellency Mr Vladimir Smetana, has been, not only in a dignified manner, a man who represents his country here, but is a noble diplomat, a correct man and a noble friend of Chile. Dotbnee ynuvifitHis Excellency of Czechoslovak Servants, as well as the representatives of Belgium, Hollsnd, Denmark, Norway, Greece and Yugoslavia, continues to represent him, for which he has never handed over a letter of dismissal to STJ and it is also our trsdion, of warlike constitutions of sovereign and diplomatically recognized countries not S. To this Chilean view, we must add the decision adopted by two American countries, during the NUNY renz żu Rio de Janeiro, to which these countries are not obliged by force of arms to recognize forced anexions. -gey efb jai Despite this situation, a policeman in the Czechoslovak embassy in front of him spoke on the l3rd of December 1994 in order to bsrinotify that the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs was paying attention to the German Ambassador's announcement in Chile that the embassy on the front of the house should no longer show the coat of arms and the country flag of Czechoslovakia "because such a country does not exist". Of course, the representative of the noble nation of the memorable President Masaryk asked him to give this declaration in writing, which the representatives of the authority did not want to do. If the theory of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been right and well thought out with the aim of denying the Czechoslovak delegation the right to further confirmation, it would have had to express such a wish in a serious and male form, in writing and personally to His Excellency Mr Smetana. But no one can explain this hypocritical and complicated procedure, this right-going pressure that was exerted on a noble diplomat, one of the most dignified and cultured countries marred by the oppressions of the Nazis, at the order of the Foreign Ministry.
