Vaclav Havel radi narodum Evropy
Prof. Dr. Ing. Libor Brom
V predvelikonocni cas pustu a pokani procitame projev presidenta Ceske republiky pred poslanci Evropskeho parlamentu, kde se Vaclav Havel po pravu venuje jedne zavazne veci: radi zamyslit se nad tim, co to znamena byt Evropanem.
Vaclav Havel se pta, ,,zda vedle vedomi ci pocitu narodni prislusnosti existuje v dusich Evropanu i vedomi ci pocit evropanstvi, zda se tedy Evropane vskutku citi Evropany, anebo zda jde spis jen o pomysl ci teoreticky konstrukt pokousejici se geograficky fakt povysit na stav mysli."
Vaclav Havel se pritom priznava k udivu nad tim, ze si sam klade tuto otazku az ted ,,po tlakem urcitych aktualnich politickych temat ci ukolu" a ze si ji nepolozil uz davno, ,,kdy se zacal orientovat ve svete a premyslet o nem a sobe samem." Nyni pry vita, ze ,,evropanstvi se zacina vynorovat z neurditeho more samozrejmosti."
Pote se Vaclav Havel venuje v soucasne dobe nezbytnemu ztotozneni zakladniho ,,souboru hodnot, idealu ci principu," jenz ,,pojem Evropy evokuje ci je pro Evropu prIznacny" a priznava se k dalsimu udivu. Vzpomina, kterak, ,,po drahe svetove valce, kdy demokraticka zapadni Evropa stala tvari v tvar vzpomince na hruzy obou svetovych valek a tvari v tvar nebezpeci expanze komunistickeho totalitniho panstvi, bylo skoro zbytecne mluvit o hodnotach, ktere je treba uchranit. Tyto hodnoty byly totiz vsem zrejme."
Po ucenem rozboru dochazi Vaclav Havel nakonec k zaveru, ze existuje to, co nazyva ,,zakladnimi okruhy evropskych hodnot" a vyjmenovava jejich celou radu: ,,respekt k jedinecne lidske bytosti, k jejim svobodam, pravum i k jeji dustojnosti, principsolidarity, rovnost pred zakonem a pravni stat" atd. atd. az do ,,trzni politiky" a ,,rozvoje obcanske spolecnosti."
Osobni zamysleni Vaclava Havla - ktery procestoval po mestech, vesnicich a laznich velkou cast Evropy - a jeho vefejne hledani spolecnych evropskych hodnot je dozajista chvalitebne.
Jak vsak pri celem predlouhem mluveni pred evropskym parlamentem o tom, co v minulosti Evropu spojuje a o co v budoucnu pri sjednocovani Evropy je nutno se tez oprit, mohl Vaclav Havel opomenout tu hodnotu nejdulezitejsi, zakladni, pro celou Evropu spolecnou a jedinecnou, jejiz symbol lze videt z kazdeho vlaku krizem krazem pres Evropu od Portugalska az do Finska - coz teprve z okna prazskeho hradu pri pohledu na stovezatou Prahu!
Krestanstvi!
Jak mohl Vaclav Havel opomenout krestanstvi, lasku k Bohu a k bliznimu, zakladni hodnotu evropske civilizace a kultury, kterou jsme my vsichni Evropane zdedili a na ktere my vsichni dodnes - chte nechte, volky nevolky - stavime svou viru v cloveka a svou peci o cloveka, vsechna lidska a obcanska prava a povinnosti!
Jak mohl Vaclav Havel zapomenout na Bohu oddane dedictvi Evropy, kteremu se slusni lide i v nejtezsich dobach nikdy nezproneverili.
Jen zatvrzeli zaprodanci se mu dosud vyhybaji jako cert krizi.
